Sugarwood, I am amused by your exclamation "wow" :-) which is I suppose an indication of the perceived difficulty.

From what I understand from interviewing the (devout) porsche community porsche fabricators and restorers, it should not be unduly difficult if repaired or pulled entirely and strictly on the celette with porsche jigs. It makes the repair "true" in that the frame contact points either line up or they dont. When they do not, it demonstrates the amount of bend and therefore it informs the decision. Our current "advisor" has a career putting cars back in pristine condition. Instead of frankensteining I have purchased all new factory parts directly from the Porsche Classics factory.

I will certainly post the results of this journey. With this transparency it is a good thing I intend never to sell her!

PS. That is an interesting handle, "Sugarwood"
