911 is unibody, ie intergrated frame and body.
Almost certain this has "frame damage" which is a very very big no no.
My advice, stay away.
I have been there. This is a very very big black hole.
Good luck!

Well....this is my car and was just wondering if it looked fixable. Front end slammed into a tree. Insurance will have an answer by the end of the week.

I would guess they'll call it a total loss, but it'll be close. Are you O.K.?

Well, ANYTHING is fixable but that is not the same as whether one SHOULD fix it.
Glad you are OK, that is the main thing, right!

Or whether it can be restored to anywhere near it's pre-accident condition and feel

It's hard to tell from pictures, but I doubt the car is totaled. My opinion is that they will make you fix it.
