    If it's in the A pillar, depending on how severe it is, the repair could be as simple as wire brush wheel on a drill followed by a strong body filler, or worst case is a weld job if the rust is really bad..

    If it is a Mk1 Golf LS, there is a fibrous insulation in the pillar that acts like a sponge and is the prime cause of rust. upload a pic or two for the forum so a few more people can review it
