best way to bridge a gapping hole?

hello again, gonna try and tackle my massive rust hole on the left rear fender.
the rust out here is very large. approx 1 and 1/2 feet long and about 4 inches high,creeping up the rear 1/4 panel. this car is too far gone to do a entire body restore on it. What my plan is, is to just fix some smaller rust spots, and of course this large one. i just want it to basically pass a provincial
inspection,it does not have to be perfect,but at the same time i want to do the best,and also fastest/easiest job.
My question is this: what would be the easiest and fastest way to do this?
i have bridged some large gaps before with fiberglass but i think this one would need some form of backing before the cloth would be layed down.
like i said,you would hardly ever see it.what would be the fastest way to fix this? need some advice on some magic cure or something that i can place in there to form a base and then either fiberglass or bondo it?
