Its hard to tell with pictures. The best thing would be to ask can you strip the back panels and see what the inside is like. If you could get away with just cleaning it down and paint , it shouldn't be too bad , cutting and welding will be expensive. Also check above the side skirts for bubbles.

£300-400 per side as a guesstimate

I've seen a lot worse on the rear arches but, they rot from the inside out so I'd say you'll still need to have them cut out and new ones welded in to do a proper job.

The above is a good estimate tbh. It all comes down to how cheap you can get the car for and if you're gonna keep it long enough to want a good job of them buddy.
