Seems like lots of PO's do what they can to make the problem worse. Mine did a "repair" with fiberglass.
There are several ways to fix the mess and most involve some welding. I was able to fix mine with fill welds and small repair patches cut from 18 gauge steel. Worst case is to replace the whole flange from a donor car and a new upper trunk panel. After repairing mine I smoothed the surface with Met-All filler
I fuxed mine with a welder and patch pannels put in from under neath from the trunck i cut out randome peace of extra mettal and wellded it in then bondow and rust enhibtor
The rear deck filler panel would be the way to on it ,(IMO)
The sides ,or top if you don`t have to replace the 1/4s i would cut out a section and either make the piece or go to a metal shop and have them bend a piece in the same contour that you have , then start cutting out the old and welding in the new. Just make the pieces extra long that you make or have made , then start welding them in , Good luck on what ever you do and keep us posted .
