Inner fender

My inner fenders on the flat square area just below the hinges is bubbled and rotting away. Weird, it's a small area, on both sides. I've seen these advertised, are these easy to change, or should I try to repair it? Also, what causes this?

I have some caps that you can either weld in or bolt in if you're interested. they're probably about a foot long and and were made to solve this problem.

It is caused by the area being double-wall reinforced from the backside. Moisture and, in your case salt, is allowed to gather and cause corrosion. DC makes great replacement inner fenders (slightly thinner, but acceptable).
