"ouch" should be an option. 

They can be fixed, but I'd be looking for a better set. If you're paying someone to do your bodywork, it'd be cheaper to replace them. If you're broke and skilled in bodywork, well, I still might try to find a better set. They've already been repaired once, and not particularly well. Also, at least that one patch was brazed in, so unless you cut out the patch completely you'll only be able to braze, not weld, on that section. It'll definitely take some hammer work and welding to get them back to good.

I'm with bluNblu on this one. Those things need major work. I couldn't pin point any one spot on them that looked good. Honestly you can buy some really nice reproduction ones for about $600 a piece......you'd spend at least that at a good body shop to get those fixed.

I voted Junk "Garbage" they are definitely throw away. It will come back and haunt you later.

They look like turds. You can gold plate a turd. But it is still a turd on the inside. 

Spend the money on some good ones. It will be worth it.

First of all, I am no "professional"
And second, my opinion shouldn't mean much 
Though I definitely agree with everyone here.....................but I wouldn't just trash it
 yet.
If you do decide to go with other used, or even a new fender, maybe someone here could use a particular part of the fender that may still be good.....no matter how small. 
Trade for parts you may need?
Just throwing it out there   


Case in point.....my fender is hurt where I circled in red.....I "lightly" hit a pole way back when..................when I was an idiot.Thankfully I'm all better now

You can always use sections here and there to fix other fenders.

Without seeing the rest, Its hard to say. I think you have many hrs in fab & finish on the area shown.
That being said, I dont think it is impossible, especially if you are good at fab work.

Personally, I agree with the majority. Find another set (new or used) where possible- I may be easier- time is money.
New ones you dont have to worry about too much.
