2 Decided to use a "skin graft" from a hidden place in the closet.
3 Lucky me, I found the jackpot of wiring. I nicked one low voltage wire. I cut out the damaged area and re-sliced the wire.
4 Adding lips to the repair area so the new panel will have a surface to attach to at the seams.
5 Window removed to facilitate repair.

7 This wall was full of water. Here you can get a good look at the mold that was growing in there.
8 Damaged area cut & prepped for fibre glass.
9 Fibre glass resin & cloth in place and dry.
10 Adding lips to the seams of the wall splice.
11 Not exactly the cosmetic finish I would have liked, but it is weather proof, and double sealed with the panel I put on next.
12 The finished project. There was so much water in the light that it was shorting out. When I pulled the light assembly off the wall earlier in the repair, water gushed out.
