well if he is going to weld it all you will need to do is grind it back and smooth it over with filler

You cut the metal to the size of the hole and weld it in. Then grind back and get it as smooth as possible before putting filler on. No point in just welding behind the hole and using loads of filler on it as you don't need to.
