to do it right you have to scrape out all the filler, sand down the rust and then apply new filler and paint.

To get a long lasting result, sand blast the joints, weld them with tin, prime them,and lastly paint them. You will even not see the joints. I have done this with one of the joints years back and I can see no sign of rust with that joint. The operation might be exspensive. Might ned a proffessional.

Also i have heard that the rust is coming from the inside. So you need to get to the joint from inside the car and sandblast it and put in some kind of primer. Then you need to do the same at the outside.

This is the resepe I was told to follow for a lasting result.
