Help Please - damaged 240

Ok tonight i was with a friend who drives an 89 240SX hatchback, well he decides to not look where he is going and starts to back out of his driveway pretty fast. He smacked right into a chevy s10. It didn't get the light but it crumpled up the left rear quarter panel pretty good. Could any one please tell me a site where I can order a new one for him. preferably aftermarket so its cheaper. If there is a widebody kit that is an actual quarter panel that would be great seeing as he wanted to do this to begin with. IT MUST BE A FULL REPLACEMENT QUARTER PANEL, these cover up pieces will not do. thanks a lot guys.

its a unibody so qtr panels have to be cut out from another 240. smarter to go wide body. theres a few online shops that have them.

Go to a junkyard and get a rear quarter cut and have a body shop cut out the old and weld in the new. As for rear overfenders, they are everywhere...ebay, phase2, TF, enjuku, they're all over the place.

I was looking at a widebody fender kit on extreme dimensions website, found one that actually covers the whole quarter panel. A friend of mine has been doing body work on his 300ZX, and it looks quite good. We thought about beating out the damage, shaping it best we could, using a little bondo, and putting the widebody fenders on for him at a lower charge than a body shop would be. Sound like a good idea? or should he pay to have a body shop weld in a new quarter panel, then have us just add the widebody? i guess what im asking is, should me and my friend fix what we can an cover it up, or have a body shop fix the crumpling and just do the kit?

And yes we know what we are doing , just to get that out there.
