I did mine a while back, can't remember if there's enough photos in my resto thread to help, maybe only before and after but feel free to take a look.

here's some pics of my problem: my car has some rotten rust in the red areas in this pic
picture sharing
so i think the best way to repair this is to cut the rotten part and weld another fresh and new metal sheet (but i unfortunately can't find those corners for sale,only full or half rear panel)
i looked to the panel and i founded many spot welds,but i can't understand how the rear panel is welded to the left and right "wings"…i tried to look from inside the car but there's another metal sheet ( in the blue area) that hide what's there is behind it.

Any advice or pics are very appreciated,it's my first time on bodywork

can you explain me how the panel is fixed with the rest of the car in the red areas?
from what i've seen it seems spot welded on the top,at half height (with the boot floor) and in the lower corners (around the bumper holes too),but i can't understand how it's fixed in the areas that i have to cut (maybe just sealed?)
