Piers,
I don't know if you have received any information on this, but I can tell you it is a bit of job I'm afraid. I believe there's welding involved! That's enough to scare me right into the shop of a professional[:0]
Most of this group does mostly mechanical repairs, and major body work is not something the average 113 owners does, and if they do it, perhaps only once :)
To get an overview and possible pricing, you should contact K&K; they supply a lot of sheet metal and might have an idea of what it takes to solve your problem. My own experience indicates you should forget the email and call them directly; you will end up speaking with Cheryl, the queen of sheet metal!
You can reach them at http://www.kkmfg.com/ Tim Kidder is great guy, and they supplied all the sheet metal (don't ask!) used in my restoration. Best of luck!
