Where you at??

Always helps to fill out your location. If people can see where you're from, they can tell you who to visit to get something fixed or get some advice.

I'm hopeless with bodywork but I'm sure someone on here can help you.

Good luck and nice purchase!!

You need to beg borrow or steal a MIG welder. Easiest method is to lap the new panels over the old by about 10mm and stitch weld them in. If you have no experience with a MIG then get someone who has used one to help you, it's easy as long as the mig is set up right.
