How hard would this be to fix? Damaged 911 Pics
How difficult would this be to fix? Have to make decision to buy only on these pics, unfortunately nobody able to check physically for me...
Oil cooler has been destroyed, rh front wheel is back a bit, how much chassis damage could there be? It's an 1986 3.2 Carrera.       Thanks, any input would be appreciated!

the good news is the gaps on your hood and passenger door are good. The bad news is the rt. front wheel/suspendsion may be pushed back a tab.....Should just be a fender, ft bumper and some suspension work, but you need an estimate from a good body shop to check measurements.

I had similar damage on my car, front wheel pushed back and in, oil cooler toast, tie rod bent, A-Arm bent,cross-member mounting point partially torn out and cross-member bent, tub was twisted about 1.5 inches, passenger door pushed back 1/2'', etc.
I had it straightened on a Cellete frame, cost me $4500 just to get the frame straight, add on parts and paint. That does not look quite as bad as mine did, and definitely looks fixable. Depends how cheap it is and how much you are prepared to spend.

I agree with the door gap being a good sign. Suspension isn't a big deal. In the US, probably under $2k in parts.
If it's cheap enough, go for it. |

Thats not bad at all, get the old sheet metal off and I bet it will not be a hard fix, Those fenders bend up real easy and make it look real bad.

Just be prepared to not get your money back on resale. Buyers have a hard time getting their heads around damaged vehicles, especially if there is chassis straightening involved. My personal opinion is that quality collision repairs are more dependable/predictable than rust damage if done properly. My own car has been in a couple of benders, but I feel 100% comfortable that it will hold at speed. I don't know that I would say the same if it had visible rust perforation anywhere. But that history does affect sale price nonetheless.
