Welcome, yes that is the best option and when you cut it out make sure you dig out the factory seam sealer as it soaks up moisture. That is the cause of the rust in these cars in the rear quarters and to keep it from coming back use epoxy primer to seal it up.

Cheers rallyac, going to drop rear subframe out will then attack
bad bit with grinder, it's the only bit of rot on the car need it out.
