If it's fender lip rust, inner will be badly eaten away

So mounting a new outer skin, onto non-existent or crumbling-away inner, is not an easy task and asks for rust to come back too soon.
A couple missed welds, replaced by pop rivets or bolts with aircraft nuts, or even 3M's epoxy panel adhesive, doesn't seem like it's problem enough to rule out the outer-plus-half-inner approach.
If you can find a donor car with no rust I'd go with half the inner fender as well. Having that crucial outer lip be factory perfect and rust free is a blessing; it's where really bad rust gets going, and starting from unrusted beats hanging a rust doily back together with patches.
