So Nono what's your plan?
Just get it running and do a rolling restoration while using it or will you be doing a full restoration?
There are a few guys from Club Lotus France and French resident guys here that have done full rebuilds that may be able to help. Perhaps adding your exact location to your profile may allow others to let you know how far away they are from you.

No I don't want to make it a full restoration because I don't have any time, I have lots of ongoing projects and I prefer cars which can show their stories.
I just want that my car runs very well and that all works on it.
The chassis is in very good condition (thanks for oil leaks), just recovered with its primer paint.
The body is correct, with lots of small default (paint, craks and holes);
The engine was running on 2 cylinders, but OK now.
I am working on electricity .....
And will work on brakes , during the winter, hopefully.

ah OK
yes, it was to light when returning, but when I get the car, lights weren't in place (2 small holes instead).
So I decide to remove the switch to make the dashboard more beautiful, and I discovered that wires were cut

and the problem of the afternoon: how remove the front bumper ?
unscrew the both middle bolts or the 4 nuts ?
the 4 nuts are turning free, and when the 2 bolts are over, the bumper still don't want to moove ...
thanks for helping
