Sounds like yours had new wheel-wells either during or post service. As to the quality of the welds, mig welding is very forgiving and easy to do. It is not hard to replicate the factory welds, as long as the old metal is cleaned up first.

The holes are 3.5" from the back panel. They are all the elongated type holes.

There are some nice stamped replacement panels for the rear wheelwells on the market these days. But if you are happy with your Jeep now, and keep it away from the eyes of the rivet counters, then why bother?
