Dashboard out. What (other) things to do?

I want to connect my external spots (Nolden- LED's) to originaliteit switches in my dashboard. I tried to fidle a loom through without removing the complete dash. Finaly I removed the dash, as it didn't work out.

Now it is off, what other works should I consider?

I thought of adding extra 12v sockets and a map light myselve.

Sugestions apriciated.

Q.

I would be putting a bead of sikaflex or something along the back of the windscreen - bulkhead seal as is has to go sometime.
Rustproof everything.
Dynamat.
Extra Foam

Have you thought about if you ever add additional lights or extras you could run a 5 core from the switch console and leave it coiled up behind the drivers speaker? William

While the dash is off you might want to make sure that the wiper rack and wheelboxes are properly lubricated, and also consider some anti-theft measures on the 10AS and OBDsocket.

An extensive set of dash-out photos can be found here - you may need to scroll both back and forward through the pics.
