You will need a new roofskin probably, that would be the easiest way to fix that, the window has to come out, and I can bet that there will be a tonne of repairs needed in the pinchweld area. As for the fenders it would be easiest to buy new fenders and weld them in...That sir is a lot of work you will have to do, sorry.

I've done rust repair with that size of rust just not that much of it, i grinded out the rust then welded sheet metal over it, knocked the welds down, went over that with bondo, then painted it and it turned out nice. If your welding it though cool it and do a little at a time or it will distort.
