Thank you!! I would have a couple of question soon to be honest haha! Looks like the engine is not "seized" so i might be able to "rebuild it" , but not sure what to begin with , new fuel line , new gasket kit , new carburator , new air filter ... ?

Ooohh, I just got to see the picture - a two seat 1500. Nice! If the engine is not seized, I would try to get it running to assess what you really need.

Bonjour!
In my opinion the first thing to do is ...read! There are manuals on this site to download and give some background. Also many articles about common problems. The Parts Interchange page has many parts sources and substitutes. And the Search function helps find others with the same problem. You can add to an old thread or start a new one.
There are many helpful people here to answer your questions. :)

Also if you can put your location into your user info, there may be Roadster owners in Europe to help you. Or you can have a Roadster BBQ and invite them. Ahhh, brie on the BBQ....just kidding :P
We would love to see pics of your area too. France is beautiful!

Oh yes, I see earlier you said Quebec. Guess I should READ more lol. Sorry about that! Supposed to be beautiful there too, so the pic request still applies! Watkins Glen would be a nice event, as mentioned and a chance to get expert advice on your car :)
