Yeah, thats the most common place for rust. The best way to fix it is to pull the rear body panels off, cut out the rotted metal, and weld in some new panels.

Thats the reason I'm looking for a new SHELL, only mine is missing about 6" X 3 foot long ! rails, spring pockets & trunk corners !

A couple of years ago, I took the photos while I was at the Fiero Factory.

Maybe the bad metal can be replaced with an aluminum equivalent?
