Talking What to do with holes

When i took off my stock wing i was left with 10 lil holes 5 on each quarter panel 1 huge one in the middle of my hatch.Then i took off my rear winshield wiper leaving another hole in the hatch and decided to remove my antena leaving yet another hole in my left quarter panel.Well im up to 13 holes back there and dont know what to do.Tried putting a screen behind and bondo ontop but that didnt work out for too long.Any suggestions?

The right way is to weld them shut. Nothing else seems to do the trick besides getting them welded.

indeed, need to make patch plates and weld the holes up, grind them smooth, then you can apply the filler.

The cheap/ghetto fix would be to cover them with the same color vinyl as your car. But yea the ultimate solution is to weld them and have that section repainted.
