Front end surgery

This thread...
When I was a young man I took a few uni-body repair and alignment courses. I didn't make a career out of it- just had some fun and satisfied my curiosity. I clearly recall being taught to level the chassis using wooden blocks in instances where the preferred attachment points were not accessible or damaged. The idea was to stabilize the "patient" on the frame machine, which this car is obviously sitting on in the photo. Of course when the clip was welded into place and we were ready to install the jig fixtures and align the "frame" we would take the supporting wood out and attach the vehicle with the proper clamps. How do you do it?
In general to the haters: Are y'all this rude to people in person? This suspicious? It must be exhausting.

That's how you document a frame repair. So how about it? I think we're all interested to see how it was done in detail.
However, I stand by my assertion that if a top-tier PACC couldn't (or wouldn't) do the job, you shouldn't go near it.

Look, I'll be happy to eat my words if the OP wants to post details of the complete job, including pics on the frame jig, and load/strain measurements in spec. It takes a pretty sophisticated shop to work on 991 frames due to the materials. It can be done (as long as no frame-pulling is required), but it isn't easy or cheap - and the only shops that are Porsche certified to do the work are listed here: https://www.porschecollisioncenter.com. Have a look at this thread:

It’s done! (Pics)
alright boys. Here is the car. Detailed and fully fixed. Before you stark asking about the GT3 bumper, I needed a front bumper anyway and I couldn’t pass on this look. OEM aero kit in rear. Tires are 305 rear with 15mm spacers and 255 front with 7 mm spacers.
