Find a panel beater and spend a lot of money !!!

unless you know what you are doing let the pros do it, and as a rule of thumb anything can be fixed if you spend enough$$$:beer

another idea ? sun windows around roof like a 21 window , what do think

I would say that putting sun windows in would be more trouble and much more expensive (considering that the rust may not line up exactly where you want the windows and you would then have to weld up some holes anyway!!) than just welding up some holes, course that depends on how bad the rust is.

Perhaps post a pic and someone can tell you if it would be an easy job. If you search the site a bit you will find posts where people have done welding jobs and been very successful.

Spend the money and do it right.
