I got a nasty spot of rust and its getting deep now.
its just above the rear tire well driver side.

Is this fixable in anyway?
and how much will it cost not counting repainting?
I just wanna know how much this costs to patch.
about 5-6 inches long along the bottom of the Q panel just against the wheel well.

It is fixable but if you want the rust to come back you will need to get it cut out and new metal put in its place.
Any other way IE bondo or fibreglassing it wont last long.

And I have no idea on cost... totally depends on who does the work

Hash is right. It depends on the shop and the quality of work. If you get the metal cut out and then have the edges of the cut out treated *to stop more rust that might have already started oxidizing* and have a new sheet of metal welded in you should be A-OK.

what are we saying as an estimate of this?
250$?
just for labor and touchup paint?
cause I would just customize the whole thing.

it really depends on the shop, could be 250 or could be more or less, best thing to do would be to get a phone book out and call around to local shops in your area
