If you want it as new, Michael's way is great. It is best to practice on a chunk of fender from a junk yard than the original to get the feel of shaping metal, heat, and shrinking dents. If that is not you, just use a high quality filler with fiber content. Sand the dent with 60 grit till clean and rough (scratchy in the dent, smooth and not scratched in the adjacent metal) then mix a dab of filler and apply it filling to the surface. use a block to flat sand back to surface then fill the small grooves again. sand with finish grade 400 to 600 paper and prime, sand prime sand and paint. On the rust, it is likely to be coming from the inside, so oil will stop it for 20 minutes or so. Get to the inside with enough access to clean the rust away. then attach or weld a patch behind the hole. (plug welding with a hole into the base metal and no hole in the patch using a spurt of weld from a wire feed will be marvelous. Then use a rust/undercoat to limit further water access to the back (innovation in using spray nozzles is needed here). Last is to use the above repair technique to fill the new dent, and surface the it for paint as above. Jim
