Default Best Option For Damaged Driver Rear Quarter Panel

I bought this 350z Recently and It has a pretty significant dent on the Driver Rear Quater Panel. I am a broke college student what do you think would be my best option to get it looking somewhat decent?
Theres a big crack in it, Looks like there's been bondo work maybe?

The "proper way" to correct this is to cut/weld/finish since it's a double wall panel. But, you could probably shortcut this with a "pull and fill" since the inner panel doesn't "appear" to be interfering with any moving parts But the caveat is that I am by no stretch of my imagination, a body guy. Suggest you take it to a recommended shop in your area to get a professional assessment and quote. It does look like it was previously repaired (use the small magnet test) as a full metal panel shouldn't crack like that (unless it's just the paint that's cracked.)
