You're gonna want to sand blast that and prehaps get soem wheel wells from a car that's been in a collision.
Alternatively, you can fab your own. As far as the rust down in the lower area, near where the well meets the floor, some angle iron might be your best bet. Help stiffen the chassis as well.

I took off the inner part on the outside and there wasn't anything there. That part starting there was only on the surface.
Since then I sanded it down and painted over that small patch. I would've been worried if when I was sanding I found more, but luckily no. The pic is a few months old from when I first aquired her.

i am legendary
107psi sounds normal for a rotary that was treated properly and has 128k, quit being so damn surprised with properly running rx7's 
It's like you expect all rotaries to be under 100psi if they are used now haha. At 128k that's perfectly normal, very average.
And fix that rust
