dunno, depends on how badly damaged it actually is. If the metal is 'Stretched' then you will need the whole pannel cut out and a new cutout welded into its place.
Recently i have has someone run into the back of my TG, and a friend of my dad's has quoted about $350 for - damaged panel cut out & removed - new one cut out of a wreck TG that i have - welding - smothed back - ready for primer. that includes tools used and labour plus no paint (i'll do that bit).
so anyway there is a rough idea for you.

if you go to a big panel beater that does lots of insurance work, they will charge like a wounded bull. I got quoted $1500-2000 to fix two 10 cm holes in the floor (simply cut out, weld in new metal section, clean up). A little place up the road said they would do it for about $250, so ask around
