Does it need to be a sedan?

For now the project is on hold until I get the car classified. Once it is classified I will be going forward with it and will probably ask all of you for help figuring things out! It will be prepped for SCCA ITR class rules (The Sports Car Club of America - Home)

In the time being help me look for one that is slightly damaged or possibly stolen it doesn't need windows or even if the interior is trashed let me know! (The only thing that will stay inside the car is the dashboard, and airbags will all be taken out) If you find a great deal send me a message! The cheaper the donor car the better so we can spend the money on the parts that matter! I will update everyone here with updates!

Thank-you everyone for posting... looks like this forum is pretty active nowadays which is pretty cool!
Look out BMW's the cat is loose!

PS: Everyone is running BMW's and that's where I want to be different. Back 10yrs ago I built an Audi and everyone said I was crazy... In it's class (SCCA ITB) I have won 2 championships (1 last year in the TEAMDI Pro-IT series) and this year I am currently tied for 1! I like to be different and I like to drive cars that I love. Being a Jaguar and Audi lover at heart these are my only 2 options. Jag just happens to be the only one of the 2 that makes a RWD car
