Rear panel is EASY! just drill out the first layer of spot welds either side and along the edge and it literally can be taken off and the arches will take time and effort! i basically cut the top skin out and welded a new skin in then smoothed it in!

Thats fixable.

Rear panel & rear arch repair sections are easily obtained from motor factors.
