A-pillar Cowl rust

The car is a 76 912E

I found some rust covered up with bondo where my A pillar meets the cowl on the passenger side. It doesn't seem too bad but it definitely should be cut out IMO.

The rust is at the very bottom of the gutter.

It looks like restoration design sells a replacement panel.
Windshield post cowl repair panel, right: Restoration Design

I plan on getting the car resprayed sooner or later, the windshield will need to be replaced pretty soon, and I'd like to replace/recover the dash.

If I pull the windshield, dash, door, fender, hood, clean the metal ect what would be a reasonable amount to pay a good body shop to fix this? Basically just the cutting and welding.

I'd say my skills (and tools) are somewhere around replacing the suspension pan at best. Is this something I could consider doing myself?
