Find a donor car and take off what you need.

It may be a little more problematic than what jdowen2 laid out.
The Body work will be the far more difficult issue for you to address. It will require (at the very least) cutting out and replacing all that bent sheet metal. It will be even more bothersome if the door jamb and materiel under the quarter panel are bent as well. Traditionally, this would be considered a "Body Shop" level repair.

IF the damage has also involved the area from which the lower trailing arm attaches, this would make even replacing the arm an issue. Even with a new arm, the rear suspension would not align correctly.

Unless you've got access to the proper tools and know your way around body shop procedures, I would suggest farming it out.
