A hole that small could be fixed by welding a piece cut from almost 
any scrap body part. I'm sure a body shop wouldn't have any 
trouble finding a suitable piece.

OTOH, rust here is almost ALWAYS due to a leak thru a rusted 
out area elsewhere. Is your outboard rear seatbelt anchor rusted? 
Look outboard and up from that bolt for the source of your problem.
