Mercury body parts are always a challenge to source. You can fix the rusty and/or damaged panels as long as there is enough there to fix. NOS parts for Mercs are near impossible to find.

You can't fix the guy you purchased them from. You also can't tell if a guys word is good until after the product is in your custody. It is always a risk when dealing through an electronic or indirect communications system like the phone or the snail mail. If you can see the product prior to purchase, it removes the risk. If you can't, the risk will always be there. Buyer be aware. If you received repairable parts then consider yourself luckier than many.
