RUSTY shock tower repair

Has anyone ever had sucess welding in a patch panel that included a shock tower on an inner fender of a rabbit? Would it be better to weld in a patch for just the rusted part of the original OR would it be more structurally sound to cut out a donor shock tower and weld the entire tower into place? Any other great suggestions for shock tower repair ????

I'd get a donor piece and weld it in, unless it appears to be easy to patch what's there.

Someone I know restoring the body of a Rabbit Pickup had found an entirely new panel and had a body shop replace his rusty one. The pickup looks beautiful too!
