inner rear arch rust.

Hello all. I wonder if anyone can give me some advise. I have found rust on the top of my rear inner rare arch. Directly above the the wheel.
has anyone repaired rust in that spot before.
Can you tell me if that's a repairable area. Is the steel in that area a separate part to the outer panel or what it is really.
Any advise at all on what is evolved in repairing the area.

Thanks.
Ray

Inner arch can be repaired easily as its not visible from outside and yes its welded to outer panel but cut out the rust and weld in section and prime it,and use body schutz or undershield to brush over it.Also check the inside ( in the boot itself) as welding will burn off the paint so clean down and prime also.
