Rust in the rear area is usually due to an improperly installed FI computer that is not hooked in its opening properly and thus doesn't seal. This is easy to fix and my experience with them is that 100% of the cars I see are done wrong when I first get to them. It's just due to lazy or ignorant POs or mechanics. I would not bother with fiberglass for structural parts, and the pan is a structural part.
