If I'm doing the welding myself and working outside, the metal of the W123 is most likely galvanized steel. Are there any precautions I should take to avoid metal-fume fever?

Yes, breathing the Fumes when welding Galvanized Steel is hazards. You should be able to get more info on that hazard on the internet.
You should also have a Fire Extinguisher or a Water Hose ready to go.
You can buy bare unplanted Sheet Metal. Regular Hardware store may have it.
