How much will this cost and once it's repair will it be as strong. I wanted to purchase a new lower panel and have a body shop weld on on the new panel.

Thanks

its impossible to give an estimate on line ! labor rates very from state to state and from shop to shop .if you have read some of my other replys to peaples posts then you will under stand buying a repair is like buying wine . you get what you pay for and make certain you know what your buying !!!!!! if its repaired properly then yes it will be as strong and safe as porsche made it . the photo is not that good to see just how bad it is . but from what i'm looking at it may need alittle pull to get what looks like a crease out of the A-piller . then a new outter rocker and rocker cover .

Price to do POrsche depends on alot of while you are there repairs or not. If the car is being totally restored then yes this is going to be off the cuff.

My motto ou can get it better yourself. Sometimes its just hurdling the learning curve.

You have serious issue there. Guys can fix it. Guys here can get you to someone close to you too. Maybe a pelican session would solve it saving a bundle.

I can't imagine a price less than 5 figures to fix that side and paint whole vehicle professionally. I say this because i know that hitting a deer can coat $18k to fix locally, and that was bigger than a deer. That is why I point out out para two above. Up side is, sounds like you will have you car done soon enough either way. As teen ager in high school we ere taught how to fix stuff like this, building a custom hydraulic puller. Anyone (welder/fabricator) can build it and a jig to hold car. I think it was approx 5" diameter pipe we started with. I big lever type of effect, and some bracing welded . A table/jig brace it up and take it apart/reinstall 4 or 5 new panels.

Good luck!
