That's about right. If you have to replace those panels no doubt the body will need a fair bit of rust sorted out too. That's a lot of prep. Photos of the work being done would be good.
Well there's only one bit of bad rust is the b pillar the rest is just bubbling but why I am having it painted thought I migh as well have it all done proper
