wheel well and strut mount

This isn't a truck related question but, I just bought an 86 escort gt for very cheap, I was in the process of stripping the interior completely out when I found this below. I was able to push that big hole in the top right out very easily. Can something like this even be repaired? I don't want to take it anywhere to have work done for it, I'd like to do it myself if possible, but if it seems like it will be too much to do then I could probably easily make back what I paid for it by parting it out.

It can be repaired if you have good welding skills and ability to find a good donor panel. Not a place where you want to do it half-a**.
