need some advice on a bad rust issue.

I started stripping my gutters and paint to get at the rust on my 78. I was planning on using ospho or some type of rust converter then bed line it until I saw the extent of the damage. Now Im back to square one. It looks like someone used a bunch of bondo on the roof and thats cracking and rusting underneath. What do you guys recommend for these roof angles with the holes and all the bondo?






Cracked bondo





Holes on the top after grinding the bondo away.
