Accident

It never ceases to amaze me what a good body shop can do with a rack. The old guy, who remembers working on cars when they had frames, can work miracles on a dent like that. Keep the pups with a plasma cutter away from it. If you can't find the right shop in Tucson, maybe ask for a referral in Phoenix?

I vote you give it a shot. It has to be worth more cleaned up than parted out. And a whole lot less work for you? Best of luck.

P.S. I came within 6" of disaster last weekend on my favorite twisty. The idiot was on my side coming around a blind turn. I swear the Porsche brakes saved me.

If you really want a 987, this would be a good time to get some $$ for a down payment. I would fix it up if I were in your shoes though. Take the $4800 and then shop around for someone cheaper. The cheaper shop will probably just pull the dent out and bondo the hell out of. At this point does it really matter if has a bunch of bondo on the body? It will have 100,000 soon with two accidents on it's record. Get it back on the road and have fun beating the tar out of it!
FYI, parting these things out takes a lot longer than you would think. Some parts sell quick on an S but the rest will takes months to sell. With 100k miles most of the suspension and interior goes in the garbage. The most you'll make parting it out will be $7-8
