If the latter, then cut out the rust and build up the missing profile with metal sheet and body filler. Anchor the metal with the filler into the slot between the inner and outer wing. When you have finished spray waxoyl into the inside of the arch from each end.

This will last for years.
If you can weld why would you stick repair sections in with filler? If you ask me it would be easier just to weld in the repair sections then it's job done properly.
