Good luck with your rebuild. Though people often criticise the Haynes manual for 2CVs it is a good starting point for you.

Parts are going to be your problem. There is a massive difficulty for UK and European parts suppliers selling into the US and Canada because of your unlimited liability laws. In fact when I was involved with the 2CV club in the UK we were specifically advised not to sell parts across the pond by our insurers.

I think what a lot of your countrymen do is have a pet friend in Europe buy parts on their behalf and send them over.

Good luck.
