Yes you can even if the wall is rusted out you can patch the wall by using a scrap piece of wall available from a pool shop cutting it so the the patch covers the hole at least 100mm all round then secure to the wall with stainless pop rivets (remember rivet from the inside) silicone around the patch so there are no sharp edges,replace the liner and your back in business.
I used galvanized steel and my advise is to use a fiberlass repair kit (sanded down for smoothness) for the poolside edges. I used standard nuts/bolts to secure the galvanized steel (1ftx1ft on both sides).
There are several sites on the web that have guides for the do-it-yourselfer. A link to one of them can be found below.

Can you install an above ground vinyl pool inground?
Apparently you can I spoke to some one who did this as he was not interested in the hassle of having to remove an in ground pool later on when he got sick of it. The method he used was quite simple. He used a 5' deep above ground pool with powder coat zincalume surround. I forgot the dimensions of the pool but it was pretty big one. # Dig a hole to the depth required he had a fall in the land so he left the top rail of the pool about 4" / 100mm above the ground on the up hill side and ended up about a 1' / 300mm above the ground on the down hill side # make sure the hole floor is level and then cover it in about 4" / 100mm of washed river sand. # Build the pool inside the hole. # install necessary plumbing. # Fill the pool. # After the pool is full of water back fill the gap between the pool and the ground with a 10 to 1 mix of sand cement. He told that this lasted him 20 years at which time the liner needed replacing when he took the old liner out he found that the rest of the pool was still in top condition.

Why does the ground have to be level for above ground pools?
So that the water doesn't drain out of the pool and so the pool doesn't fall over. I agree with the answer above but I have a more detailed answer. In a round above ground pool the water puts even pressure on the pool walls, and if the ground is not level one side will get more pressure. The imbalance will cause the pool to collapse under the strain.
My above ground pool is uneven fix it with out draining it.?
I have a 15' above ground pool, when we installed the pool it was a little uneven (not even 1") now that the pool has been up for a while it has settled and now the side that was lower is off by about 3-4". How can I fix this without draining the whole pool?
What do you put under a small above ground pool to level it?

Is a rip approximately 2 inches long in one seam of a new above-ground Intex pool repairable?

Can you replace a shallow well pump with an above ground pool pump and will it have enough suction lift to lift the water 20ft?
Above ground pool pumps are made to sit at or below the water level, not to pull water up. If placed above the water level, or away from the pool-side they will not circulate the water properly and may not even prime. For your well, a better option is to go for an in-ground pool pump - or better still, purchase a pump made for your particular application.
What is the scum gutter of an above ground pool 18' by 18'?
I may be wrong but I doubt there is a scum gutter on above ground pools. There may be what is called a skimmer and that is sort of a hollow box like object at one side of the pool - usually located closer to the pool equipment side of the pool. When the pool pump is running you will be able to see water entering the box or skimmer. The purpose of the skimmer is to catch bugs, leaves, etc and to get the water back to the pump. It is part of the circulation system.
