Hey everyone,
So I changed all the parts and everything worked out ok. I believe I only spent about 3500 on parts alone including rims and paint. Labour was done by me and to be honest, Porsche is the easiest car I have ever worked on. I had changed all control arms and sub frame on that side, under panels, front rad support, front air dam, rear bumper, rear trunk, rear spoiler. I had the alignment done today and the car was come out perfect. I will post pics when the car is done from the paint shop. I just wanted to say thanks for all the posts.

And your brother? Is he still alive? Did he pay for the parts? Did he help you with the installation of the parts?

I really want to know what his level of responsibility has been for the damage and repairs. Don't ask me why. I'm just inquisitive!

Doing the work yourself saved you (or your brother) thousands of dollars. Good save!

Great job and at a fabulous cost as well. I believe Kitchener is in Ontario Canada. Where were these parts sourced from as parts in Canada are so expensive and you replaced a lot of items.
