like John said, and use satin coat galvanised steel. if you are using a patch from another car try and get one from your year or newer, IIRC yours was the first year of full galvanising, or maybe it was just the lowers. SWB cars started rusting with a vengeance the day they rolled off then assembly line. and get a piece bigger than you think you'll need. price? whatever it's worth to you to not have to fab one. I'm a bodyman but a pretty lazy one, I wouldn't hesitate to pay $100 for a galvanised piece.
lastly, automotive epoxy primer is your friend for any patch areas, use a brush to mash it in everywhere you can get to. and after final paint, wax-oil the living cr*p out of everything.
