Clutch cylinder pushed through the floor panel??

Yesterday, driving home in heavy, city traffic, my 89 9000T with manual transmission had some clutch issues and I had to have it towed to the shop. When it failed, I stepped on the clutch peddle and it heard this clunking sound, not transmission clunking, more like linkage clunking, if that makes any sense. Also, when I lifted my foot, the clutch peddle did not want to return to the starting position. I had to force it up with my toes.
So, the shop just called to say that the master cylinder was pushed through the floor panel. Evidently, it had some cracks and it was weak. So, they have to find a body shop to recreate the floor panel and have the master cylinder back to its original position.
My questions are:
Has this ever happened to anyone else?
How much did you pay to get it repaired and did it work?
Any other useful advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
