What do people want to do on the El weekend?

This is a question for those coming to the City El /Mini El weekend on January 19th/20th.
What do you want to do at the weekend? I've got a nice long list of things that I'd like to do to my el but we should try to work out what jobs need doing and how they can be done.
The last thing we want is a bunch of dismantled and incomplete cars!
I'm hoping to:
Fit a third brake-light. (If enough people want maybe we could all get a discount for a group purchase of them?)
Fix the play which has developed in the Banana's front steering.
Check my rear light clusters (they've been on the blink again)
Fit draught excluders to the roof/tub.
What else do people want to do, or learn to do?
Obviously Andreas is going to show everyone how to do a service but we could also:
Do a quick whistle-stop tour of each car and look for common faults, replacing things like throttle pots etc and check thermistors (so the car doesn't boil the battery pack!)
Do a radio installation.
Have a go at replacing/upgrading suspension parts.
Do minor bodywork repairs (crack filling and body strengthening)
Tackle the import/DVLA paperwork !
Anything else?
It's going to be useful to have people let me know what they want from the weekend so I can make sure they have the right parts from Andreas or we have the right kit!
