 TA22 that needs work - experienced help please!

Gday,
I am looking at a TA22 and would like an idea of what would be involved and what I would need to change in order to get it working how I would like. Any help or opinions is appreciated.
1- Suspension
I would like suspension that would be suited to circuit or track performance but with some balance in terms of being able to be driven on Sydney roads without needing hip surgery when you hit a few unavoidable bumps. What would anyone suggest? I would like to replace everything with polyurethane and I think the springs in the car are ok already.
2- Interior
The entire interior will need replacing, seats, carpet, ceiling upholstery etc. I would like to know if anyone has replaced the interior with custom interior (like people do with modern cars for shows etc). I was wondering AROUND how much that would cost not using leather etc but felt and keeping a stockish but a little bit better look - not show but something you could show a girlfriend's father and still not be ashamed hehe.
Also just wondering what the cost of a centre console is worth for a TA22.
3- Driveline
When you accel hard, the tailshaft (I think thats what it is) goes BANG and (i think) hits the bottom of the car as it squats - how do you get rid of that? Will isntalling things like pineapples do that, or will I need to raise it (i dont think that will work)?
Also it has a custom tailshaft but it goes into the standard TA22 diff which I believe I will break in a matter of weeks. I have thought about having the diff rebuilt with mechanical centre and strengthened - does anyone know how much I would be looking at or is it a matter of finding a TRD diff (and even then how much would that be, and how many kw/hp would it be good for?)
4- Windows
A little niggling thing is the rear windows go down and rock back and forth (i assume thats normal). When you wind it back up it rocks back but not forward and gets stuck.. both sides need help/intervention to close by righting it with your hand.. this isn't a deal breaker but annoying when you have passengers - is there a way to make them go straight up and down or even power/electric all the windows?
5- Steering box
Is there a way to convert to rack and pinion and if so, does it need more room and how much and who can do it for me?
[edit: i am in Sydney]
Thanks very much if you're still reading this. I appreciate any feedback at all..
Thanks again!
