Any jobs worth doing while the dash is off?

[ChrisR]

Need to take the dash off to sort a dodgy fuel guage and whilst it's all apart is there anything worth doing for convenience sake?

Nothing extreme like changing all the surface mount stuff etc, but what about any bulbs (if there are any) etc?

Is it worth changing the tweeters while I'm there, they just run off my Pioneer 77mp but would swapping them out be beneficial? And if I did would I be best off getting a set of components and bin the standard door speakers at the same time, how does all this work with cross overs etc? I'm an idiot when it comes to anything more than sticking in a new HU

Its a 60 second job to get the top dash off, wont need to change any bulbs unless either your centre console ones have gone.. no bulbs in the dials they're SMD's.
Changing your tweets is down to preference.

Fill it with padding to provent any rattles

unless anything has gone/broken then leave it.

if you like your sound quality the yeah change the tweeters

Worth cleaning out / changing the heater matrix? I know it's a dash out job on the Mk1 so is worth doing if it's already off

Yeah I realised after reading fubar's guide it's not that big a mission so will just fix my guage and have done with it
