Default Walk in the park if you know what you are doing.....

I do an anterior approach and never sweat it! It’s a walk in the park when you do a bunch! 😁

Looks cut and welded in the picture. The weld doesn't look very good from what I can see. Looks like a mig weld.
Why not drill out spot welds and take repair back to original whole panel replacement and re spot weld?

actually the weld was done by certified professionals that deal with this kind of weld daily. I talked with a Porsche certified shop and this is what they recommended. Let’s just say I left it to the pros not “rennlisters” if they didn’t know what they were doing they wouldn’t be in business

Let's just say you're a hypocrite, then. Because you've started at least two others threads seeking our advice about your project.

dont think it was asking advice about the project. One was the cars worth... plus I did those just to see what people have to say. Usually the responses are funny when it comes to salvage cars. I have all the info I need. Was just curious.

How'd it turn out? Interested to hear what you paid, cost of repairs, and how much it sells for.
