We bought a house that was completely remodeled but the metal framing for the basement window was left even though they installed a new window. The rust is beyond repair. Does anyone have experience wrapping the frame with aluminum? What can be done ? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. This is such an eyesore .

I think I'd get some thin (1/4" or 3/8") vinyl plank and some white soffit nails and cover it as-is. Fill the outer section out flush with the inner stop using treated lumber and wrap it all. Caulk the joints blind as you assemble the parts.
