Hey I looked all over the body and finally found rust. Under the spare tire i guess water got trapped and theres like a 5cm wide hole and rust around it when i tap on it with a screw driver more falls off it gets sturdy about and inch away from the whole what would i do sand down the rust then spray some primer or WD 40 on it to keep it from rustin further and later bondo it up?

For a cheap fix you could scrape the rust away and DP-40 it or something in that nature or have a sheet metal plate welded in (although i think the gas tank is pretty close so obviously take the necessary precautions). My personal saying is "bondo is bad" but then again it's in a spot where no one would know.
My last supra had a leaky targa before i bought it and i had no clue. it had the same rust spot as well as many others in the floor board itself Mad. I never put a dollar in the thing after that (sold it as a parts car) so i cant tell you from experiance.

I bet you if you check the body above the back tires, the wheel wells....you will find rust. Supras are notorious for it.
