My first post on this forum.
We've been renovating our 1941 weatherboard house thats had an extension in the early 80's and in 2000 (before we owned it).
During the renovation we've discovered that our ensuite has been leaking water through cracks in the grout. When we took some of the sheeting down we've found that the metal studwork is rusted.

My question is, is it worth trying to support the existing weakened metal stud with wood or just tearing the whole wall down (its about a 3m long wall) and rebuild fresh?
It only looks as though two of the studs are rusted but the baseplate for those studs is basically completely rusted through.
Thanks.
