base on that photo I think it would be your best bet to find a clean shell

Were are you located? There are several shells in PA for less than the cost of a quarter panel.

Nows a good time to learn how to weld. Buy a welder and start one panel at a time.

That's too far gone. It's going to have to be cut out, a new panel welded on and then bodywork. There are a few threads on repair.
