Funny you should say that mate, because:
Put the interior back in now as I wasn't happy with the stripped/interior bits in so:

Yeah I much prefer it as it is now, especially knowing underneath it all is rust free 
From the experience of doing this, I reckon if you're going to strip a car to lose weight, don't just half ass it. Do a 'jr'
As for the wheels:

Covered it up knowing that I had sprayed it all and I knew it was sound underneath

Just fitted myself one of these:
Had to get meself one after I read about mark lawton ripping one out of a Tigra
Stuck down in place with trusty halfords velcro coins
Nice place to keep the mobile
Looks a tidy addition, just like the dash mat

Might be able to get away with a hairdryer to heat the glue to remove the strips.
Not sure where you can get a toffe wheel drill attatchment from. I wouldn't attempt it any other way, the glue is a bitch to get off.
