These repairs are do able by any back yard mechanic. But beware you'll have to remove the right CV axle to get the alternator out. Or at least unbolt the steering knuckle and separate the outter CV axle from the knuckle and swing the axle out of the way for clearance. I'd fix it but I don't know what the "something else that rusted out due to me living in Wisconsin for a few years" thing is.
