Those mostly sound straightforward jobs. I can share a few thoughts based on my own experiences with a 1997 V90.

Are the PAS lines definitely leaking? I thought one of mine was but it was actually just the jubilee clip at the reservoir and the fluid was trickling down the outside of the hose quite some distance. A very easy fix.

There seems to be the usual choice of opening temperatures for the stat. I plumped for 87° in the form of a Wahler 4272.87D (271417).

Brake fluid change is really easy with a pressure bleeding kit. Maybe take the opportunity to grease the slide pins at the same time. I had a sticking calliper cylinder which made the job more of a nightmare.

Replacing door hinges is a two man job. It will very likely go wrong and cause damage if you try it single handedly.

There is a lot of information on the transmission out there and some simple fixes which sometimes work. Worth trying to pull the fault codes either using the A/B box under the bonnet or the OBD port by the driver’s seat depending on the age of your car.

Good luck getting back on the road.
