Hey Chris, I'm no collision expert, but that car looks definitely repairable to me. $22k for repairs is a joke. They must quoting Porsche retail prices for new parts. You can get used parts from a dismantler like 944 Ecology or dc automotive. My guess is with that settlement you can get your car back into original shape and have enough left over for some major new suspension upgrades and a new set of tires.
If you don't want to do the repair work yourself, can you get someone like Knopf collision to do an estimate on the repair cost? Even if they come up with numbers that would make it prohibitive to repair it, you could still come out way ahead by parting it out.
The one nice thing is you have all winter to get her back together instead of scrambling for the next event.
