I'm pretty stumped on this. It's really the only thing I can't figure out for myself.
What do you all suggest I do about this?

Aha!
That looks familiar.
Find someone with a shell that's been written off in a rear end shunt to cut that section out for you

I had the same problem I found someone cutting up a shell and used that piece

I'm with Carlos on this. A pain to try and form a repair section unless you are really skilled with a sandbag and hammer. Oh and a English wheel.

I better start looking then.
I think I can find something locally, I know a few people

Not too desperate right now. Nothing worse than a Mini being written off though, ouch.
I'm just gathering resources before I start any major work. I'd have to take it somewhere else for the body work anyway. I'll try to sand the paint off over the weekend, so I can see how far the rust has gone, then I'll know exactly what I'll need. Though in the 4 years I've had the Mini, the rust doesn't seem to have spread. There would appear to be a rather large storm approaching though, so I'll hold it off until that's passed.
