Opinions on this rust?
This is my '84 wagon, driver side, rear quarter trim strip beneath the quarter glass. On the trim strip there is what looks like a clip that clips onto a rivet kind of attachment that goes through the body at that hole. Unfortunately the rivet is still clipped to the clip, on the strip, and the hole in the body is rusted and crumbling. Its not very big but it looks gnarly. It'd the only real rusty I've found on the cat and i'd like to fix it. Any ideas, suggestions or methods in which i should try to fix? I'll also need to know how to replicate the hole in the panel and where to get a replacement attaching rivet. Any help is greatly appreciated!

how about neutralizing the rust and rebuilding it with clear POR-15, fiber glas sheet and then drilling a hole for the rivet in the fiber sheet.

Fiberglass would be better. Properly installed, it won't fall out and it will never re-rust.
It isn't Bondo.

Yeah... but it isn't metal.

Concurs restoration or something that will hold up under daily wear and tear?

I used JB Weld as an adhesive along with pop rivets and none of my repairs have fallen out or rusted. Other areas have started to rust, but not where I've done repairs already and it's been about 5 years.

I showed how I attached the metal in one of the threads. I didn't show how I shaped it, but I used an anvil, sand bag, hammers and for some pieces just used my hands and leg to bend the shape needed. I would then hold the metal in place and drill all the holes needed, then butter it with JB Weld and pop rivet in place. After the JB Weld cured, I coated both sides of the repair with more JB Weld and then coated it all with POR-15 encapsulator prior to finishing with the POR-15 filler where needed.
