I have gone over the complete wheel well areas and the metal is solid with no undercoating delamination.
But bad spot is on back side of the section where the rubber buffer support attaches. In order to repair the back area near the spring, I think the front side will have to be cut away to provide access - maybe about 1sq.ft. Then new steel will have to be welded on inside and then on the front. Finally, a new bracket will have to be made and welded in place. Will have to see what the shop says.
One other option would be to buy a complete new section from MB and just use the part that is needed. Still hard to weld the back section though
