Rusting Under Passanger Rear Cladding

[DKraim]

I have been debating on what to do for the rusted passanger rear fender. After Pulling the cladding off i found out the previous owner bondo and fiber-glassed it and now has rust under. So far i have sanded and cut out the junk but there was a good chunk that needs to be replaced now. My question is without replacing the whole rear fender should i fabricate and weld a couple patches or just put the cladding back on and let it buck. MN SALT STINKS Also can't find any in the junk yard worth grabbing a patch. Perfer doing the patch.

Any thought would help!

I definatly need to add some photos and working on how to go about that. Otherwise click on my user name and check albums

I would say it depends on your budget,skill and how long do you plan to keep the AV.
To do it right like one of those car restoration shows you should take off all lower cladding and inspect both sides for hidden rust, then put in patch of solid metal etc. That is the only way to make for a long lasting repair otherwise you are just putting a band-aid on a cancer and it comes back quick to haunt you.
