Time for some advice...

I have rust in the front right hand guard of the car...the rust is eating away between the wheel well and the firewall of the car.

I have included some pics on the link and left them large on purpose...figure they show some more detail.

What is the best way to repair rust in this area? New panels, cut and weld in patches etc

I'd take that pedal box out, for starters.
Cut the rust out- don't just rust convert it or bog it.
Not sure what panels are available for up behind there- when I put front pans in the 850 the rust had got into the toeboard, I cut it all out and plated it.
