May I ask for some feedback from you all (any opinions accepted)?

Due to the great difficulty in finding parts for a '66 Sprint Veloce (especially the seats) and my desire to use the car for trackdays, I have decided to go for a period, but not necessarily original, look. To that end, I have the Alfaholics fast road/race 'C', the front geometry kit, and a few other goodies. Front suspension and running gear is currently at the powdercoaters (40pence a kilo, wooo wooo) and should be ready on Friday - I will post pics.

The interior is a bit of a problem. I don't really want to fit a cage in case I find enough parts to restore to (near) original; I have some nice 1750 seats which suit the period look, and I found the holy grail - an RHD dashboard, albeit in a sorry state.

Apart from the lowered suspension and no bumpers (for the period boy racer look), I would like to keep the exterior completely original, and I have all the parts and trim for that. I am undecided on the interior. Any suggestions on front seats; rear seats or not; battery placement; carpets or not; etc.

Any views gratefully welcomed.
