Testing the market for my project car, set up for road racing/auto-x. It needs finishing and between work and family I don’t have the time to focus on it anymore. I am willing to trade for a reliable DD as well. It does move on its own, but needs a tune and TLC to be reliable. I would recommend a trailer if you are coming from afar. The car started life as an A4, it is now an M6. Donor car had ~80k miles on it (2002 Camaro). The engine build has <500 miles on it. Rank High Performance in FL did the bottom end.
I have videos from today of it starting and driving.

The bad:
- The clearcoat is peeling in many places. Not a concern for a track car IMO, but it may bother some buyers
- Very slow oil leak at the rear, could be the oil pan or rear main seal. I haven’t had time to pull it apart to look, both are new seals so it’s surprising that there is a slow leak.
- The window and seat motors are unreliable. They are OE, so after 23 years they are a bit tired
That’s all I can think of for now. I’ll answer questions as I can.
