You can always check the low fuel light by shorting the fuel level sender connector with bit of wire with the ignition on!

Re: Clutch pedal and fluid problem
Is the fluid reservoir holding the fluid or have you needed to top it up?
if so, theres a leak, most likey the master cylinder.

Facelift bumpers will go on a chromie, you will need the bumper dampers front and rear. Front bumper is easy to do, back bit more fiddly.

There is O ring between the 2 pipes which are bolted together, replace both O rings on both joints, it's very rare that these rings need replacing, i had a similar problem and i just replaced the O rings.

Re:
check the connecter between the door and the body, most likely a loose connection or a bad connection due to corrosion. also check the cl relay for any water damage.
