Nowhere has the inner fender panels - well, maybe the DDB gang - but I have
successfully used the forward section from the other side of a scrap Type 3 to
repair this area.  You get a piece which has the same profile where it joins the
sound part, and has the square pressings to match towards the hood flange.   I
fthe pressing where the fuel filler goes through is bad, that would need to be
formed, which makes that side a bit more difficult.  Of course, for your high
spec Type 3s that's all covered with lining, so I guess it doesn't matter how
pretty the metal looks, but it is possible with care to do an invisible mend
this way.
If Hershey was over here, I'd  bring along the bits to explain - maybe I could
bring some photos and talk you through it.
