Default Body Work / Frame Damage *pics*

I bought this car this past summer for $1400 - it is in good mechanical condition but it had some body damage (see pictures). I was not aware that the mount for the rear upper control arm was bent as seen. I am not so worried about the area underneath the rear door, as I am the upper control arm mount. I tried beating it back straight with a hammer, but I think this will require a professional. Anyone have any idea of how much something like this would cost to fix? Even ballpark range would help. If I could, I would fix BOTH problems, but I am 100% positive that the upper control arm mount is the most important. I have been driving the car since the summer, it has been aligned, and drives fine like this. I would just have a better peace of mind if it were fixed.
