Good luck in finding the parts.
I spent 20 years making a network of people in France to get parts. I bring back what I need except in a couple cases, like recently when I purchased a running 1937 1911 Perfo engine and trans and had it shipped through Customs with a an expediter. All for less than an MB engine over here.
The Americans over here will rape you worse than anything you would ever find in buying Rolls Royce parts at a dealer.
They are the most unscrupulous people you could meet.
One guy in CA sold me something, then claimed it was stolen, refused to refund me. I went to Las Vegas on business and visited him to get my money back in person.
Be prepared for that kind of chicanery and learn to read technical manauls in French, you should do ok.
By the way, since every "turdbox" you find is claimed by its owner to be a rare jewel, be prepared to pay top dollar for it.
