Very kind for the offer for borrowing tools but I'm based in France so it might not be that easy haha.
I agree with the fact that I should buy the "generic" tools for maintenance (i.e. jack and stands at minimum) that way I could progress and learn to do some myself. This is also part of why I purchased the car as I thought on this type of car it is reasonable to think that some of the maintenance can be done by myself with a little bit of research.
From what I came across, changing shocks might be something within my reach with the proper tools but I will make more research first.
By the way, what does "tlc" in "the car is worth the tlc" means?

Def worth having most of the tools (and the skills) yourself. Don’t buy all of them at this stage - borrow the ones specific to this job (spring comp, tie rod splitter, etc). A good light jack and stands, sockets, spanners, etc will be handy later.
