Crack on side

Hi everyone, just got back from checking out the car from the link I posted a few days ago. In the ad it says there is a "crack in rear quarterpanel paint, black tape over it right now to cover it up"

To specify the location of this a little better, it is located right above the vent that leads to the engine on the driver side (where the sticker covers in one of the photos below)

I'm curious if you guys think a body shop would be able to fix this or if i would have to have that whole area replaced, and what you guys think that would cost..

Thank you in advance!

I'm still pretty new to these cars, but I think that area actually takes some significant stress from the roof mounting points and mechanism. Not that the whole car will split in 1/2, but it needs a qualified professional to evaluate it.

You can get lots of opinions here though. I'd stop-drill the cracks and put a stainless doubler over it with sexy looking aircraft rivets every 1/4 inch. Maybe a few bullet hole decals to top it off. (Sure you want opinions?)

*I'd suggest starting a new thread rather than continuing here.
