Default Body damage

I bought a 04 s2000 with a rebuilt title back in august of last year. Now I have saved some money and would like to fix some of the worst problems with the car. The pictures below are of the worst of all the damage and I was wondering if any of you have had experience in fixing body damage in this specific area of the car. Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

just from experience of having been in a wreck with that same area damaged. it should be repairable if you can find a good body shop. and if the damage is repairable then whole body panel would need to be resprayed to match correctly

They can pull it or atleast weld a new one in. $175 for a new piece and probably $500 for install plus paint. I would assume they can pull it and weld any puncture up for $350-400 though.

how much body work is needed? Might want to repair everything at one time then spray all together to keep the paint consistent. Of course blending is always needed.

Other than this damage there are some deep scratches on some of the other body panels...but those can be fixed by repainting those parts. So I just wanted to get ideas on this one because it is the most serious...but I will fix them all at once.

Anyways...thanks for all the great feedback!
