I was starting to remove the fender today when i noticed a gaping whole in the car form the bottom rite in front of the rigght rear tire. My assumption is he jacked it up on this point with a normal jack you have around your house(not the one with the car) and it eventually broke threw and rusted. Its horrible! I think i need to grind off the entire piece(it goes into the car) adn replace it. Any SUGGESTIONS would be helpful. Also there is some rust holes in the spare tire holder.

As far as fixing that rust hole the ideal thing would be to cut out the hole and weld in a square patch. If you cannot do that, I think an alternative would be to cut out the hole, grind the edges to smooth bare metal, spray the bare metal with primer, and then place a slightly oversized peice of metal on both sides of the hole (sandwiching the hole) and then rivet the peices together. You could even put JB weld between the metal peices and around the edges of the metal plates. I'll attach a pic of what I mean.
