I was in Turkey last week and did this "turkey shoot" from a garage lot I drove by. They had a business going rounding up old US iron and fixing them up on order, mostly for tourists. Amazing sheet metal work: they never bought part but hammered them out of flat plate. Saw a set of 59 Impala rear fender skins; way better than what you can buy!
They had 2 cars in progress and I'd say 3 on a 0-5 scale when it comes to craftsmanship and welding. If I'm buying anything there I'll have them do the raw metalwork + primer and the interior (leather is cheap there too). PM for contact details if you need it, I got a business card.

The BMW was in a really sorry condition. Dammit, that would have been a find!
