1). bang it out as close as you can get it
2). Get a welder and fill them holes!
3). Grind the 'excess' weld down with a grinder
4). Get it smooth
5). fill with <1/16" of bondo preferable
6). paint that

Greg, you're screwed!.... j/k well maybe... I had this same problem on my 87 sport waaaay back in the day. What I SHOULD have done is cut all the rust out of there (if you don't remove ALL the rust it WILL come back to haunt you, ask me how I know...) then bang out a little patch out of sheetmetal and weld it in there. Do a bunch of tack welds and then grind it down smooth and use very small abount of bondo to fill in the small imperfections. If you do all this right it will look factory.
Have fun!
