The frame and suspension seems intact so just some bodywork.
So indeed, it could always be worse
It's the rear fender that's a bit messy. I think I will just adjust that roughly and use the car the rest of the season before fixing it properly.
Here's what happened:
Since that part of the track was an old road it had no safety zones and was very narrow. I spun and just a couple of meters to the right of the track there was a fence I went through.. a regular metallic mesh fence with large wooden poles, so I was very surprised of the relatively little damage.
I'm using a stock 968 headgasket now. It holds up so far, but still only boosting 0.6-0.65 bar.
So indeed, it could always be worse
