This vehicle isn't offered in the US, so my technical info is very limited. Since you did major work on the vehicle, I have to start with the crankshaft position sensor. If it was damaged or there is a wiring issue, that could prevent spark. Check that first.

Here are a few links you may find helpful:

Let me know,
