maybe weld in a piece of sheetmetal of same thickness but yo may have to remove a bunch of stuff and it may be just a good t put anew one in

for overheat check to see that both fans are working it may be a fuse or relay in relay box there are three. could be a bad fan as well or a wiring issue due to you needing the radiator support
