Replace or Repair?

Sometimes I wish I was less anal about stuff. The more I dig in, the more problems I find.

I took my short stepside bed apart, removed one of the fenders and got this awesome surprise. Would you replace or repair?

And if repairing, how would you go about doing it? Cut out the rust and weld on a new piece? I am worried about fittment afterwards, especially future water intrusion. Any input is much appreciated. Thanks!

I'd put it back and forget I saw it

Re: Replace or Repair?

If it concerns you, it looks like it would be fairly simple to cut out and replace.
