You should try and get a template from either the opposite side if its not rotted away or another Nova and do it that way. I always think parts like that look better if they are replaced rather than patched but im quite fussy like that.

That looks like it's in the footwell too! If you go hunting with a wire wheel, you'll probably find more of the same! Might end up easier whipping the wing off and replacing the whole section with one plate. Only need spot/small stitches as it isn't loading bearing etc so possibly even less welding that a patch! Use a piece of card as a template to pick up the wing profile. I have pics of this in my wip
