Yes to the first part, and the second part: it really depends on many factors, and is really a personal decision in the end. Money, time, confidence in the final outcome, condition of the rest of the car, availability of a replacement, joy in the challenge, just a few things off the top of my head.

Personally I would not, body work is beyond my current skill set and I'm too frugal to pay someone else when a replacement car isn't going to cost too much more than the repairs (or maybe even less).
