small tipped grinding tool to remove as much as possible then some kurust or rustbeater to prevent any remaining rust from getting worse. Then fill and touch up as required.

if its not actually formed yet and just bubbling paint, get some hammerite rust treatment which takes it away from under the paint and protects for future

If its already formed and gone orange/brown, get some hammerite rust remover which you paint over the rust, it then removes it, leaving the area ok to 'touch up'. (t-cut and polish the touch-up so it looks ok again)

If the rust is too bad to repair, it will be easier to source a new panel.
