Got my dream car but need some help

I recently got my dream car, a 1995 e420, and was wondering if I could get a little help. On the rear quarters right where the body meets the bumper cover theirs rust. It’s not that bad but it’s not pretty either. Was wondering if anyone knew of a place to get a repair panel for this? Should I just bend some metal and weld it in my self? Thanks!

Couldn't find a clue where you live. If where you live has snow and salt as part of the annual cycle, get the body rusted parts fixed by the professional and re-seal the underside. W124 parts used and new are plentiful and inexpensive around the globe.

I would almost suggest getting a new or used non-rusty panel and get it painted (if not the same color already)

Otherwise, yes a professional shop can repair it (grind the rust out, apply rust stopper/POR15, patch with metal + filler, sand prep and repaint to blend with the panel)

yeah I found a few 300e cars in the bone yard with perfect panels. Same car just older. Gonna go get them tomorrow. But now she’s running rich and I can’t fogure it out x.x
