Yeah, you can buy a replacement weld in panel, just put one in mine... Cut the rust out, trim the panel to fit, weld in, fill and paint...

Much safer to remove the petrol tank btw.

I didn't, and it was a mate who works in a bodyshop who did mine.....

Although I agree, it would have been much safer..... Cap was on though and the tank is full  :huh:

As for your rear panel, depends which part you mean, find the relevant panel and if need be just cut the parts you need out of it.... (or change the lot)

Have a look here...

I can't vouch for the quality of these panels, they aren't where I got mine from as one of my mates has a bodyshop so I just get him to order me the bits, I have had new rear arches, rear lower valance, petrol cap repair panel and two front wings are on order....
