Question Classic rear quarter panel

My new project turned up today pictures to follow...

I need to replace the O/S/R Quarter panel the question is where can I find a replacement wing and what like of a job is it to replace?

Tried Google but didn't really come up with much thinking I am going to have to find a Scooby being broken up to get the part?

Living on a small island I am not sure of breakers?

Is it due to a rust spot on the arch? If so you may find the deeper you look to further the rust goes. Due to a bad design of panels overlaping the wrong way inside the top of the rear arch a whole section of inner chassis tends to rust and the spots on the arches are just the after effects that are visible. You can get fibreglass replacement arches but you may have to cut far deeper to truly cure it. It can be a big job to do properly. If you google something like impreza rusted arch replacement you will see some shocking pics. That is assuming its rust.

New quarters from Subaru will cost a fortune and need to be cut/welded. Used I would try and get a jap one that hasn't been on UK roads. Jap stuff tends to be rust free as they don't salt their roads.

You can also repair the area using a cut up front wing as the arch profile is the same! Again google will show you.

A project about a moderately rusted one but they get far worse then this.
