how bad are they? most things can be pushed out a fair way, infatc there are companies which specialise in that stuff without need for respraying. if you want too though i recommend getting a panel beating kit, knock it out as much as you can to minimise filler use. then key area, filler if then sand etc....

I'll give you a hand sometime if you want, doesn't come with 100% success guarantee though. I'm alright with filling and rubbing down, don't know about the rusty area's.

defo, and if you use to much filler, give it a couple of weeks and it might sink.
