Seeing as you've had to ask the question, it won't be any type of 'repair it yourself' answer. 

I would start visiting workshops that focus on classic vehicle restorations/coach building/body building. I would be surprised if your average panel beating workshop would be interested in making a repair like this and even if they were, personally I wouldn't trust that them not to take shortcuts in their quest of maximising profits.  

An example of the type of workshop I'm talking about is something like this -

Ooooo damn, that's a tricky place to fix....  The section that the K-Frame is bolted to is a VERY structurally integral part of the car.  It's a massive job to strip all of  that apart to get to that panel.  Dozens of spot weld to drill out to remove all of the panels.

The other thing to consider is if there is that much rust there, most likely there is a lot of rust elsewhere too.....  If/when you get a quote, IT WILL NOT be the final amount as once they start drilling out spot welds more and more nastyness will be revelled.  Prepare yourself for that.

Good luck, I hope you can bring her back from the brink.

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
