First off you car is damn impressive.
When it comes to building a cage my personal opinion is leave it to the experts, they may not deal with Crowns that regularly but they will have the experience to design an appropriate cage. When picking someone to build your cage, talk to lots of people with cages in different areas of motorsport until you find a cage builder you are happy with. Usual story, check over their workmanship and attention to detail. Find an engineer who agrees with what you want to do and why you want to do it. Putting a cage in a road car is quite a bit trickier than slapping one in a race car, you don't need to worry about interiors, passengers etc.
Personally, you need to decide what you want out of the car, balancing between road and race use is pretty tricky stuff. By the time you put in a rollcage you pretty much have to say goodbye to the back seat. I don't know what the rules are like in Oz but in NZ you can get bolt in cages custom made and approved, they give you the extra peace of mind without the added hassles when using your car everyday. So then you put in race seats, use regular seat belts most of the time and swap in the cage and harnesses for racing. Not sure how you would go about this on your side of the ditch though.
