Rightio, Chaps (and Chapettes).

I bought a Toyota MR2 GT-S Turbo for my track car.
I've currently it stripped out.
No interior, sound deadening, passenger seat, and dashboard.
I have a drivers seat, steering wheel, gear knob, handbrake, and speedo (just taped around to hold it in place).
Engine wise, I'm going to leave it as it is for now.
Tyres are some Toyos in great condition. I'm going to finish them before I fit some slicks/semi.
Suspension, totally standard. Wobbly when driving aggressive, but predictable.
Brakes, uprated discs and pads. Not braided lines.

Problem is what to do now?

Using my head, I should put a cage in next, otherwise the seats might not fit, correct?
I have billions of wires hanging all over the place. What the buggery do I do with them all? Would an Auto-electrician be able to come and chop away what I don't need?
Heaters, I have no control panel for AC and heaters now. How do I sort out the plumbing side? Just literally remove all the heater matrix and AC unit? I get told that I might need demisters, though? I can't even open my windows without the controller.
Finally, speedo is crudely stuck on. Do I need it? Should I invest in an aftermarket something or another?

I guess I should have stuck with the dash so it can hide all the wiring, keep the heaters, keep the speedo in place. Too late now
