locally we don't have much suppliers (about 2 in all of Israel just for old cars...)
for the BX you can still find parts in a few old shops, but just generic stuff like spark plugs, a headlamp or two and gaskets.
so I order from abroad, usually Serie04, Franzose (which stopped shipping due to the war), L'aventure but especially from a very nice man i met online, he his from France and helps me with collecting parts all over France from private sellers and ship them to me. without him - I couldn't restore the Peugeot...

a lot of enthusiasts here, especially the old ones, have problem because they need to be very familiar with part catalogs and ordering the right parts online, I help whoever I can with that.
