You can buy repo panels through rare spares. Their not that expensice, Im looking at buying these and either paying someone to put them in professionally or possibly get a mate with a mig to put them in.
I personelly would never fix the local spot (the actual rust) because the panel is 24 years old and more rust will just appear, better to replace the whole panel in my opnion.

Or you could just drill the rust out, knock it with converter and bog it up.

how bad is the rust? I have just finished reparing rust in my rear window area, all I did was pull the window out grind all the loose rust out and treat it with por 15, if you have small hole fill them in with a mig, if you have big holes do as said above.
