Default Plan for tracking the Ti. Validate and give feedback please.

Long story short. Purchased a 318ti in order to use it as a daily driver. Found out it was spilling too much oil and couldn't figure it out in time, after all I needed it daily. I ended up buying another 318ti daily now, so I have an extra 318ti. Was going to sell it, but now I'm going to just fix it and track it. How do I go about this?

My plan :
Replace all gaskets and seals. (oil pan, front oil seal, timing chain cover gaskets, etc)
New water pump
New tstat
New oil filter housing gasket with bush
Delete AC
Delete interior stuff
Short shifter (since I'm dropping the oil pan anyway)
New pads
Brake fluid flush and fill with the blue stuff

Hopefully This gets the oil leak fixed. The car is on koni's, lowering springs, and already handles very well. I will check the bushings and control arms and probably replace with new. And the car also has 310k miles.

I'm just planning to race it until the engine explodes and build an m52 in the meantime to swap in.

Am I missing something or should I consider installing something while I am doing all the seals and gaskets?

Input welcome.
