Fixing random stuff

[ggking7]

Thanks to advice from some forum members, I just had the following done to my 180K 1998 LE:

- oil change
- safety check
- replaced brake pads
- replaced brake rotors
- replaced suspension ball joints
- replaced missing lower control bushing
- replaced air filter
- wheel alignment
- new front left tire
- tire rotation and balancing

There are a couple other issues I'd like your advice on. The door edges have little rust spots showing. Is that easy to fix myself, or should I take it to a body shop?

The clock has "popped in" to the dash, but I can see that it is still working. I suppose the dash needs to be taken apart to fix that?

The car is starting and running great. Should I get it tuned up just because it probably hasn't been done in a long time?

Any other likely issues I should look into?

Just throwing this out to you that the Detailing & Car Care forum has had many past threads covering this subject, so you might want to search that forum and read through the relevant threads.

Can a tune-up improve gas mileage?

Is there any chance of me fixing the clock issue on my own?
