You need a front quarter panel, hood, bumper, head light, bumper reinforcement, radiator, radiator fan and possibly more. You can get all of this stuff cheap on eBay in the US. The most expensive part will be painting. My worry is that the radiator was damaged then driven, then over heated, and cracked head or blown head gasket. Check the oil and coolant and make sure the colors are right. If this car was in the US I would offer $6k only if the oil and coolant were fine.

Looking at the pictures again the fact that the bumper was ripped in two and needs to be stapled leads me to believe the damage is worse than it looks. It's easy to check though, drop the bumper in less than 30 min and you'll know what you have.

You're making me want to buy a crashed boxster. I like the project.
