If the front is the only real bad area then then I would consider just cutting out most the rusted area and splicing a repair piece in. What I mean is don't cut out the whole thing like in the back. That part is some of what keeps your strut tower located. It should not be too hard since you motor is out. Just really depends on your skill level

How it holds depends on how well you do it. A good penatrating weld will hold.
Check maybe goodmark industries or classic industries for the part. Or a wrecking yard.

uh geez......My old classic industries catalog shows them calling it "front inner fende skirt". I know when I would order replacement parts We used to call them inner wheel well. At least the early removable ones like on pick ups and early cars.
