I's still torn between repair or replace-this rust damage is unusual because it is highly localized. Other than the trailing edge of the wheel opening, the fender is absolutely rust-free, and other than the two openings for the bumper sliders, so is the rest of the car. A patch panel would be great but for $50 more I can get an entire repro fender, and then, there is the welding issue.
I have to paint the entire car because the clearcoat on all horizontal surfaces of the car is blown. The hood was so bad I had to strip it to bare aluminum (and that, I have to buy special primer for). I have the paint on order, and I'm assembling what I need to do it right now.
