Do you have any pictures of the damage? I'm assuming that this is the framehead you are referring to? Depending on whether the framehead has moved to one side, it will require the framehead being pulled out straight on a jig, then the repair work done. As far as I'm aware, you can't buy T3 frameheads like you can beetle frameheads (although the new ones you get are really, really shit quality!) so the repair work will have to be done using a donor framhead. I don't think it would be economical to ship the car to the UK just to have the work done then ship it back. You would be better off taking it to an accident repair centre for Porsches of other prestige cars near you and getting it done properly for the money it would take you to ship it back and forth. The actual job wouldn't be that expensive to do over here, its the shipping would be the killer.
Over here in the UK, something like that would definitely be repaired. There is a brown Notchback in the UK which was on hydraulics and it sustained some severe framehead damage. As a result of the damage it constantly pulled to one side when driving - it has since been repaired and is as good as new.
