Suspension will be v similar to later GTI-6,  XSi & HDi so sourcing suitable parts shouldn't be to much of an issue. Front wish bone bushes have a habit of needing attention, along with rear beam as mentioned by Eeyore.

Electrical issues tend to plague cars of this age so you may have to deal with a few of those. As a min get yourself a multimeter n do some research online about how to chase such issues down. It's a steep learning curve but enjoyable if you like getting to grips with new stuff n overcoming a challenge.  Really common issues are fuel pump relay connection block, fan relay connection block n door wiring failure.

Have a read through the guides section n suspension / steering & electrical sections for more ideas on issues to look out for.

Good luck with the project!
Glad to be here. I really had no idea, I just saw the car and it really got my attention. Despite it's aesthetic flaws. 

It has been a steep curve already but thoroughly enjoyable. Will start reading and no doubt you'll hear from me again. 

Also thanks for the reply, as a new guy I really appreciate it.
