Of course the column shift steering column as mentioned and don't forget to get the manual steering boxes with the associated steering column piece. Also, round euro headlights.

I hate to burst your bubble, but those cars aren't exactly in primo condition. Parts are used until they're used up. Things are patched and taped and recycled and odd parts of one car are mixed with others. You maybe can find some nice sheetmetal due to the dry weather, but think about the shipping cost. There are many amazing things to do in Morocco. While it's fun to look at the cobbled together rolling stock, find a better use of your time than cruising junkyards.

My favorite Agadir cab was this Valiant/Dart/Barracuda:

Apologies for the radio silence... Morocco is an intense place to work.
Turns out the w123/201s are in pretty rough shape, at least cosmetically. I was there making a commercial and did something pretty interesting with a 200D:







Not the driftiest car around but it worked =)
Will share the thing when it's done.

Strelnik- I was there for about 10 days. Primarily Fez, though a bit in Casablanca, Rabat and Chefchaouen... French abounds, but Arabic (or Berber) is the lingua franca. The French cultural flourishes are still apparent but unless you're dealing with white collar professionals, you're speaking very broken french or english (neither edged the other out) to whomever else you need to engage with. 2020 for work? Hope you enjoy couscous and Tagine =)
