 I replaced the headliner in my Travelall a couple of weeks ago (got a
pretty
good set of panels, though not perfect, from a Travelall that a friend
parted
out. The original ones in mine were terrible!). It wasn't too difficult
- I
guess it depends on how worried you are about the dust that might be up
there.
If you're going to go to all that trouble, you might want to think about 
getting some 1" or 1 1/2" thick insulation to put up there. There was
some
insulation in mine, but there was almost a 6" gap around the edges of
it.

 Good luck. Mine was broken around all of the mounting holes, so I
looked 
around for a better one - no luck. I ended up attaching some sheetmetal
to 
mine to make it work. Maybe you can adapt one of the earlier shallow fan 
shrouds? Make a 6" or 8" deep tube out of sheetmetal, and attach it to 
the shallow shroud.

If you springover the rear, what will you do to the front - doesn't it
have
the IFS?

 The inner fenders all seem to rust out right where the hood hinges
attach,
probably because there were two layers of metal there, and moisture and
dirt 
get in between them. There was a guy at RMIHR selling sheetmetal pieces
that 
you can bolt or weld into place to repair that area of the inner
fenders. 
They didn't look very complicated, so you could probably do it yourself.
