Unfortunately, I'll be dead with them.
Sitnky, looks like a new fender and a rocker panel and your good to go. If there is the slightest bit of damage to an oil line, have the insurance replace it .

Update: finally got the car into the body shop this week (had to wait for a new fender from Germany - presumably it was shipped by a Zeppelin flying into a headwind 
. Oil send/return lines are slightly dented but I will wait until I can get the car running nice and hot to worry about them - it's never gone above 8 o'clock on the gauge before, and has zero oil leaks, so hopefully that will still be true.
On the bright side,
#1) the body guys are the best around and should have that side of the car looking new (without the few stone chips & door dings that were there before)
#2) it's been snowing and raining here... I wouldn't be driving the old beast anyways.
Edited to add: I'm taking CT944's advice, and am getting a new windshield put in (at cost), plus a little cosmetic work on the bumper and bonnet. So even though I'd rather not get run into, it should be somewhat of an improvement.

I did a very similar deal, having some rust dealt with at the bottom of the windshield... The damage was caused by a non OEM windshield and seal.
It rains a lot up here in the top left corner.
