Default Rust Problem Help

Hi everyone I'm having alot of rust problems, and I was wondering if anyone could give any tips to help remove or repair my rust. There some spots were I was gunna weld sheet metal on. And other little just fix and paint.

I'll upload pictures later. As a reference. My driver fender has a rust hole by the door, same on other side but it's still a solid metal just rust color.

Passenger rear quater panel has about a 8"* rust hole at the bottem length wise.

And on driver quater panel, there's a line of a golden rust color, hasn't broke yet. From front of gas door to tail light.

**Moderators: this thread needs moved to Paint/body work/exterior.**

Im repairing rust as well. if you have welding capabilities then by all means put it to use and weld new pieces on that have rusted thru. areas that are just surface rust i recommend getting "Rust Doctor". its well worth the money. you clean it up and put that stuff on then paint it the color you want and your good to go for many more miles. get the rust fixed asap. mine got so bad in one lousy year its unreal. now i have to replace my entire quarter panel. the rust starts from behind and doesnt show thru the whole way till its too late.

Well, I don't but my friend does, he welded himself a full frame for his truck. I went to the junkyard and were I have major rust holes, same color and no dents or rust. So he said will cut it out and he will weld it. He just said pay for part and give him 50-100 to weld it. So I'll do it. I dint want the rust to kill me out of my car.
