Discoveries

So in purchasing a salvage title vehicle you always are assuming a certain amount of risk. I have owned salvage titled cars most oft life, some are spotless, others have obvious damage that doesn't affect the usefulness of the vehicle, and now I have a vehicle that has damage an problems.
On the drive home with this Porsche the handling was useless and tons of vibration coming from the travel. It also wandered quite bad though it is unclear if that was loose suspension or the stupid big tires I had.
This leads us to the dissection of the front end.
Picture 1- bent passenger front control arm.
Picture 2- JBWelded front upright. Also visible I'd the brake line coil and of you look close enough you notice the brake caliper is not mounted straight.
Also known is some clicking from the front strut mounts.
