Is this really and "easy fixer"?

I don't mind projects, but this looks like it needs a bit more than "a door shell and rocker panel" Am I wrong?



Per the ad: "In a nutshell what you have here is a very well equipped Porsche that will make a great and very simple project whether you are building for your self or for re-sale."

No, liberal use of the phrase "easy repair"

Just needs a "driver door and rocker panel"? Unbelievable! Tim

Ideal car for an oval racetrack as long as you go counterclock wise

IIRC, the 993 used special alloys in the rocker structure. The car needs to be pulled on a bench and new pieces welded in.

Easy only in that you take it to the body shop and write a check... Can't imagine it's less than $15K just to get it ready for paint. Plus, you'll very likely have a salvage title... no matter what the seller's claim. Oh, and a Google search will turn up this listing associated with the VIN. So even if not a salvage title, you'll have a heck of a time if you eventually want to sell.

Wow... even the hood is bent. I think that's a bit more than a paintless dent repair guy can handle.

Are the wheels off center in the wheel wells?
Even on the intact side, it looks off.

Hey everyone - thanks for the valuable input. I think I was a bit sarcastic in the original ask but also wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

I see the seller ended the auction so it's doubly important that the VIN be searchable, Listing it here: WP0AA2996SS322390

Thanks again.......
