That's pretty bad, I don't know if it is able to be saved at the point where it is eating up the door jambs. After so much corrosion in that area, the structural rigidness of the car comes into question. I hate to say it, but it would probably be worth your time to start looking for another hatch and swap any aftermarket parts over to it. You need to figure how much time and $$ you would put into yours to get it back to normal. Then add some because rust is always worse than it looks from the outside once you get started. And then there's still the chance it can return.
The only reason I would attempt that was if I had good experience in body work, all the tools and a welder, and had the hook up for a paint job. Then it might be worth the time & money. You'll definitely have to do some fabricating and unlike my fabricating, yours is on the surface of the car where it will be seen so it needs to be perfect.
