anything to do/upgrade with interior out?

Due to a fried wiring harness basically the entire interior has to be removed (dash is already completely out). Dunno that I can spend much more given the cost to fix this, but anything I should consider while the car is basically gutted? I figure roll bar is going to be a suggestion but not interested in that.

yup, I would do an integrated roll bar and carbon fiber roof . GT3 seats, I'd run an extra power line to the engine bay and into the trunk for future use, upgraded pumps, or other stuff. Just me.

I'm the unlucky guy who bought it, having to now spend around $10k on repairs after it broke the day I got it. On top of that the spare "RUF" exhuast included in the deal turns out is not a RUF at all, just some modified oem.

Sorry to hear about your troubles, but the RUF exhaust is only a modified stock one to begin with. That's why it's cut and rewelded(or so I hear).

Some pics of that exhaust here, I know RUF is a modified oem which is why I didn't realize at first, no RUF badging though and different welded on tips. Without any other knowledge on whats been done to it though not sure what its worth.

I'm thinking recovering the dash in alcantara could be cool, but probably quite a bit even with the dash already out. I'm primarily just trying to think of anything thats expensive due to the labor involved in removing/reinstalling in the car since everything is out anyway.
