Make sure you are careful with the plastic injector lines. If you man handle them and one breaks, replacements are not easy to find. Also use a deep enough container to put the injectors in before spraying them. System pressure is 60+ psi.
As far as grinding and bondoing...if you don't remove all of the rust by grinding, it will just come back, even if you try to cover it with bondo. Remember, grinding removes metal...too much grinding and you will make holes. I'd grind it and treat it with Extend, or paint it with POR15 before bondoing. That will slow it down longer. To cover holes, if you don't have access to a welder, pop riveting sheet metal is another option. Then use duraglas to cover the patches...sand it or grind it somewhat smooth, then use bondo(bondo is easier to sand than duraglas) and primer to finish it before painting. These methods may be crude, but cosmetically it will look OK for more years to come.
