I have an M42 318i project that I'm working on.  brillantrot/natur, 192k, no rust, all service records since new (including profile gasket!).  Had a bit of a neglected life of late but with a little brake hydraulic work and a good polish it's reliable and looks good.  Gives me something to drive while I fix my M20 vert up a bit.

I live in Vegas.

The M20 vert is lagunengruen and has 157k miles.  If I park my three cars in the right order, I can make the Italian flag lol (third car is my wife's white 2000 mustang).

Very cool.  We are out in Vegas (Henderson) frequently.  Let me know if you need anything brought out on the next trip.

Here's one of the M20 vert.  Camera's charging so I can do the M42.  My camera's not all that great, so the pics of the M42 are not going to have the same resolution as this one, which was taken with a different camera.

And here's some of the M42.  Low-res like I said.  Bodywork issues, should I decide it's worth my time to repair, can be taken care of at very low cost.  My father-in-law is a very good bodyman :D
