Default Picked up a 1995 S6

Hi,

I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Dan and I currently reside in northern Virginia. My buddy and I just picked up a 1995 S6 that we are going to use to participate in RallyCross and the Lemons Rally. Car was at a automotive garage sitting for two years. Owners son put the car into a cable guardrail after sliding on ice. The cars front bumper is obviously destroyed, the ac condenser and lines also got damaged. We are not concerned about the AC working but want to know if a Audi C4 A6 bumper will fit the car. The S6 bumper is getting extremely hard to source so we are looking for alternatives. We got the car home and put 5 gals of fresh 93 octane in it and the car fired right up! It has 154k miles. We noticed the floor on the passenger side floor board was wet as well as the rear passenger floor (sunroof drain?) Any advice would be awesome! If anyone has a front bumper cover for a reasonable price we would be interested. Thanks !

Not planning on restoring it, planning on rallying it. Few small issues to work out but we will have it sideways in the dirt soon.

Default As for water.

First I would clear all the drains, then I would open the hood get a nice seam sealer and remove fenders. Then I would scrape out any loose old seam sealer from around strut towers and underneath the fender area and replace it with new seam sealer. I had to do this to two of my s6’s. Clearing the drains did nothing I was always getting water in the car until I did the seam sealer.

I cleaned out under the cowl area and all the drains. Hasn’t leaked since. The car will be participating in the “Retreat From Moscow” Lemons Rally in January 2020!
