Yes it is repairable, The easiest repair is to remove the metal and find a set of front fenders and cut out the same shape and profile area to match and have them trimmed and welded into place. They should not rust again as long as they are cleaned properly and you remove that damn little rubber trim piece that acts as a rust promoter in your wheel well

no, if the rubber piece is damaged, or the paint is damaged, then bare metal is exposed to the elements. making it easy for rust to move in.

That rubber piece tends to catch dirt and stuff which stays wet and it starts rusting.
