Default Nifty mods while dash is out?

Pretty much due to a wiring accident, i'm having to replace the looms in my car. Looms haven't been sourced yet, (Waiting for FTG to PM me back...), so I was just wondering if there are any cool mods (Stuff like kits from Jaycar, along those lines) that I can do to keep me from bordem while my car is apart? Car is sitting there with no interior (Velour seats from a DA LTD going in) no dash (loom stripped) and no engine loom (again, taken out in preperation for the new looms)...

Just little things that would be nifty to do, but don't get done due to the dash needing to be out...

I have modded (well, modding) a EA High series (digital) cluster, have cut out the door open warning thing, and am replacing it with autogage oil/volt guages, and sticking a stock looking front plate thing so it all looks stock...

Anything else that could be cool? Cost isn't really an issue...

If you put in a BA Shifter then a shift light will come in very handy
