After being a member of the board for years, I finally decided that my dd was on her last leg and it was time to pick up another one. So I found this little gem on craigslist...
   I just took some pics of the full stable, I just need them to load up to photobucket. ~bloodMoney Oh I forgot to mention, Abby's a little bit broke... Click linky

Panel epoxy is awesome. As strong as a weld when correctly applied (stronger in some instances since it won't make the steel brittle) and it seals up the bare metal edges as well.
3M 38315 or equivalent should work there. Here's my thought on the repair. From the wheel side install a long strip of steel over the area with the panel epoxy to prevent any further water intrusion (both sides). On the inside, I just noticed that you've got spot welds along there, you want weld there again since it's structural. Have a patch of sheet metal welded from the strut tower/wheel well to side panel there, be generous with the overlap and number of spot welds. As for the hole itself, cut out to clean metal and just epoxy in a plug of sheet steel or aluminum or whatever, the large steel panel welded over will take up the structural duties.
