So - I decided to pull the Mustang out of the garage last night to strip the back end down to metal to see what I'd be forced to work with (or replace I suppose as well). I knew the drivers side was heavy in the plastic category, but didn't have a lot of line of sight to the passenger's side rear.
In the end, both were a SEA OF BONDO. Note the snowy layer of bondo on the wheel and concrete of my driveway.

This last pic amazed me the most. a LAP weld smathered with BONDO? Come on. I think the guy who fixed this car in the past only had one tool in his belt...and that was a big fat can of plastic filler. Oh well. What this little experience has taught me.... get the whole car down to bare metal to find out what you need, then order all the sheet metal together.... hoping to save some bucks on shipping.
