Right ok, i cannot make my mind up what to do from here:
And i also have this which i will be putting in:
Now i am stuck on what to do.... Stuck on what to do with the inner roof, pillars or pillar covers, aswel as the dents and pips where i have removed the brackets in the rear. As of now i have painted them over but would it be worth smoothing them all over and re-painting the rear?
Ideally, but i am undecided if it would be worth it, i want the car show speck... is it worth it or should i leave it as it is and save the cash for the engine / power work?
Maybe people could leave me their ideas / views on what i should do aswel as pics....
Thanks, Doldy (Dan)

I think what i will do is sand down the pillar trims flat and coat them matt black. Give the roof lining a few more coats of dye to make it a little darker than it already is.
Sell you the carpet Daniel.... NO 
What i did was go to a scrappy and got a dark grey one for £15 beans. Then got some black "ridleys" carpet dye off eBay for £27 delivered for 5litres. Then got some MER carpet and upholstry cleaner from halfords for £7. Hoovered the carpet thouroghly, cleaned with brillo pad using the MER cleaner stuff, hoovered once dried. Got a pump spray bottle from B&Q and sprayed it a few times with good covering of the carpet dye. Looks nice and new IMO gonna give it one more coat to use the dye up aswel as the roof lining i have done with it. Laid it in the car, cut it to where i wanted it to end (just up the rear bench) and im well pleased with the result.....

I would say, its a track car with show car qualities. I have always had in mind a track style show car interior.... If you get me.

Sort of 
What about smoothing out the rear struts, a propper welded in strut brace all polished up. False floor all over the back.
So the strut helps you handle and it's polished so you got your show there.
False floor hiding the crap thats underneath.
