Hi GreaseM, welcome to the forum! All the panels are available to repair that area (boot corner, inner wing rear panel, rear chassis extension panel).
These parts are available from all the major parts suppliers.
Shop around for best prices, but the rear chassis member made by ESM is very nicely fabricated and finished! (IMHO)

I agree with that I had some fitted last month. Lovely job.

GM, you'll beed to take lots of measurements from various fixed points and directions on the car to the suspension mounting hole and damper mounting before you cut anything off. Then, when you weld the new bits back on, make sure you get the new suspension points in the right places!
The car will drive better because of it!
