You really need to look at where the rear beam fixes to the car as if that's rusted away that's major work to make sure every thing is straight and true.
New panels etc all available at VW heritage etc.
I see in the picture you have bought some plusgas, get spraying those rusty bolts so it soaks in over a few days especialy the rear beam nuts if you wish to remove it as if they shear off you need to weld some new bolts from above.

Impacts don't create the torque shear that a breaker bar does.
I have broken many a bolt with the torque sheer of a breaker bar on the sideways twist.
My impact hasn't failed me yet……
