Hi and welcome to the Forum Eli.

How are you finding spare parts over there?
Please note, I'm no longer active on the Forum, so won't respond to messages.

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.
