The strut likely failed long ago and is now seized and the tire is
forcing the mount up through the inner fender. It's not going to be
cheap. How much welding depends on how distorted the metal is. It surely
was making a lot of noise before it got that bad, right?

The upper strut insulator has failed .
Worst case you are going to need a new insulator and depending on the strut
a new one of those also.
