In WRC cars rollcage is firmly welded into the bodyshell and if the rollcage is broken You have to change complete bodyshell with rollcage.
Mow much % of the car would a new bodyshell be?
In other cars like PWRC and S2000 cars, is it the same?
How much percent of what? Of price, of mass, of solid volume or of number of parts? :)
Yes in S2000 and gr.N it should be same (I wrote should because there is little supervision of what privateers do).
Here is an example of broken rollcage resulting in change of complete bodyshell in frontal crash:

Does the bodyshell include the chassis, and what if that gets damaged?
On 'shed bult' rally cars and even on older WRC cars, can the roll cage be replaced without a new bodyshell.
Today's cars doesn't have chassis in original meaning (except some off-roads and trucks). They have integral bodyshells without separated chassis frame. So damaged chassis is damaged bodyshell as it's one part.
I think we should PM each other now because this is a thread about Skoda, not rollcage damage.
Someone know chassis of EMX 005 (PG Andersson car)?
Chassis VIN is TMBWU46Y033003051
Last numbers 74 is chassis 24
Last numbers 70 is chassis 20
so, maybe that is chassis 1?
I would guess it is chassis 2 but I don't know for sure. The car is now for sale but there is no info about the car's history http://rallycarsforsale.net/ads/fabia-wrc/.
Edit: I was looking for some photos and found out this:
Same "www.dl-sport.fr" sticker on the bonnet in both of these pictures:
