Maybe another diesel purge now that everything else is right.
Splice wires back to the trunk light (someone cut them)
Fix tachometer (not a priority, I already tried once..no luck)
Try to fix parking brake
That's all I can think of for now. Otherwise she drives beautifully, all the power windows and sun roof work, the seats are good, the outside is good and I can't think of anything else wrong.
