82 300SD body problems

I noticed today a big rust spot that suddenly appeared on the passenger side wheel well. I had been obvious to me that the car was badly pained before I got it. I've now found out *****y body work was done. They slapped bondo on it and called it a day.

I was wondering if anyone had a 126 out there that a section could be cut out of. I figured I'd MIG weld in a new piece after cutting out the rust BUT I need to find a donor. Junk yards will generally not cut out such a small piece. Especially on the cheap.

I think sherman auto parts in Michigan carries the wheel arch sections. They are around $40.

Here is what they carry for Mercedes. It looks like they don't carry the wheel arch sections for the 126. They do have them for a 116 and 123 though.
I have found the quality to be excellent.
