all you need is someway to cut out the rust spots, like something with a cutoff wheel. And you will need a welder to weld the new piece back in. Its not that hard and doesnt require alot of stuff, the junk yard should be able to remove the quarter panel from the other car, just make sure that they cut it off bigger than what you need so you can trim to fit. Then grind off the welds and smooth with body filler and paint. Shouldnt take longer than a couple hours and will turn out ok if you just take your time.
