Well its wrecked...
I don't have any pictures to post yet. I'm thinking it will be a blessing in disguise. I had fully intended to take the car in for a front end respray and rework(the lights and bumper did not align correctly) but, was having real trouble finding someone willing to tackle the job.
Front bumper is now smashed in pretty good. I'll need new fog lights(hello euros) and I need new indicators(hello clear lenses). I'll also need a new header panel(hello vented nose piece). I'll need a new front bumper as well.
If anyone knows of a GREAT porsche 944 body shop please send me a pm or post about it. I need someone who really knows these cars to fix this correctly and put the car back straight. The frame rails will need to be fixed(old issue) as well as a few other tidbits I'd like to make right on the car. This is my chance to make it perfect. So I'm looking for someone who would know how to make the car perfect.
The car is already at advanced automotive. I do have full coverage insurance and hopefully they play ball and don't try and total out the car. Any advice or recommendations on shops. parts, process is appreciated.
Let it begin

Honestly if the bills weren't like they were right now. You bet your *** thats exactly what I'd be doing. Out of curosity anyone ever do that conversion? Or let me guess I'll have to be Christopher Columbus on that one too...

John, I have bodywork for the front end (obviously needs to be repainted) I'd let you have for cheap. Shoot me a PM.
Don't even look into a 968 front conversion the front tubs have extra crap on the 968's which makes it difficult to move body panels over. You'd have to build some fairly large bracket/conversion pieces. Not worth it.

John, I am really sorry this happened to you. I know how you feel (not my 951 but my Subaru last week)... Let me know if you there is anything that you need. I might have something.

Damn!! I hate doing that. I've done that before and while you have to accept blame, WHY THE HELL DO PEOPLE JUST STOP ONCE THEY START DRIVING??
Old people I know. It's not their fault, but very frustrating.
Good luck with the repairs John.
