Not 100% sure what I'm seeing in the pic but to me it looks like a bunch of bondo under the paint. A cheap repair gone bad. If it is bondo like I'm thinking a body shop will say it needs a quarter panel and you will be looking at a whole lot of money for that type of repair. The body does not support the top so don't worry about that. You could do the same as the owner and sand it down smooth some bondo and spray can paint it. That's cheap and easy and will look that way but on the color you could get away with a lot and from 5 feet away no one will know.

Thumbs up Recommend the Boxster

My 2000 Boxster 2.7L has run beautifully for 14yrs. Normal wear and tear but at 95,000 miles, all I had to do this year was replace the AOS ($114 part) which I did myself.

In the past SIX years, I've only had to replace the brakes, battery, tires, oil and the water pump and do the normal 90,000 Service. She runs like a champ!
