[T3] Front fender rust question



The situation:
1970 Square; looking in trunk, down past the spare and the washer fluid reservoir, at area where front bumper bolts to inner front fender (driver's side), I can see a small amount of rot poking thru-- neatly outlining the bumper attachment bracket. Passenger side look entirely fine.

The question:
To treat this right, (assuming the rest of fender is solid) is it better to remove this fender, cut out bad section, treat any remaining rust, and weld in a patch? Or better to try to find replacement fender?

The car is so solid that this rotted bumper bracket area is a real anomoly. Maybe bumped there and underseal was broken enough to capture moisture.
