Need help/info or if anyone knows of a fix

Alright, the area that the lower rear fender bolt attaches has rusted through. Its the one that is located near the door. Just wondering if anyone has fixed this kind of a problem or any kind of an idea for fixing it. Its the only spot on the car that has any rust.

Thanks Matt

Two large washers with a bolt through them, when you tighten the bolt down with the fender on, the nut and bolt will sandwich the washers and make it fit better. As for the rust, rustoleum rust remover black.
