are you talking about the rear? cause thats not something like the front fenders that you ca just replace easily. if an area needs to be fixed in the rear, it has to be completely cut out, and replaced with a section out from a donar car, since the whole rear section of the car (minus the bumper) is all one piece.
won't be cheap. hopefully it can be repaired and not need to be replaced

I'm an auto body tech, replacing a quarter on these cars ... Basically whatever amount your thinking multiply it by 2 and it still will likely not be enough. Quarter replacements on any car is difficult, on these cars it's even more so because of the amount of spot welds and the fact that the sail panel band is glued on...

1/4 replacement on these cars isn't bad to do yourself with moderate novice skills. I've done several cab corner replacements to repair rust, and this was my first 1/4 skin... really not that bad at all, just time consuming... and a **** ton of spot welds like mentioned before.
