I've not seen that part of the body on a W126 before but I can say that on my W123 the steel there is no thicker than 1mm
I think most people would call that an uneconomical repair. That means that only a DIYer would probably want to repair it.
You might find that people like klokkerholm make a repair piece for it though. There's a similar bit available for the W123. It is a complicated part of the body to repair though as I think you can only weld from one side. Distortion could be a problem. As said before a really skilled welder is required.
