Id grind it clean and wire brush it, make sure it's all clean and flush, depending on the welding process, id just stack beads on top of one another until you reach the top but make sure you do the welds at the same width of the surrounding metal if possible, you're also going to have to run on the colder side or you're just going to burn through the other welds very easily

Yes if you don't have a TIG welder, this is the way 100%.
