Rear passenger side trunk area repair

My '86 Iroc is rusted through on the passenger side rear trunk area. This is in the area where the spare tire sits. Also rusted through on the inner wheel tub. Is it possible to get parts to repair this area? Where can I get them? Also need to repair rear wheel arches on both sides. Are there patch panels available for these areas or do I have to get whole quarter panels and cut my own patches?

Just depends on how bad it really is.
If the spare tire slot is so rusted that the spare tire wants to fall through and hit the road,I would say you got a severe problem on your hands.
