looks like you'll need to cut the outer quarter.

the inner piece "looks" to be ok...but i can't tell from the pic.
do yourself a favor...don't just sand and bondo...you'll make a worse.

if you're keeping the car then cut out the rust and weld in a new piece. if you're good on a welder and working with sheet metal you can even make small pieces of steel and weld them in. weld them in and then hammer them to shape. it's more work but you don't have to buy a panel.

spray welding primer or something with high zinc content. for the inner panel use por15 to seal the already rusted part if you don't want to replace that.

once you're done, skim coat of bondo, sand, prep, paint, use seam sealer to seal out any future rust problems. then use some undercoating under the fix to try and make it last.
