weldore wrote:your first job is to rip all that interior out,if you cant buy the inner arches then as you say,youll have to get some sheet and make your own but you need to see the extent of the rot the other side of the inner wing.i can see from your photos its gone along the bottom of your inner wing,if you have a window above it make sure you seal it to make sure it dont get in there any more.i might be wrong but it looks like the water has run down the inside of the outer wing and settled in the bottom or soaked into the insulation and rotted it from the inside out.you could try the galv but its not the easiest stuff to weld,youll find it will blow a hole in it rather than do a run(i know i weld galv evryday and if your settings are for mild steel itll be too hot ,and remember youll be welding galv to mild steel.if its just galv coated then grind the galv off first).also you can get welders flu from it so make sure theres a draft to blow the fairies away.good luck but make sure you know exactly what your going to do before you start
