The original plan was to slowly restore / mod the interior of my '74 Clubman. After 9 years have passed, I'm ready to admit I just don't have the time and skills to do it.

Scope of work includes
    - Seats, door cards, dashboard re-upholstery
    - Interior paint is currently mismatched (previous owner used a different colour internally?)
    - Roof lining is new but vinyl lining (b pillar, rear wheel well, parcel shelf) needs to be redone
    - Missing bits like switches, ducting, dash vents, upgraded steering wheel, dashboard panel, etc.

Location is Melbourne northern suburbs, and I'm a little lost how to start.

Engage a motor trimmer to redo seats, door cards? Body shop for interior paint? Someone else for installation and sourcing parts? Turnkey restoration service?

Recommendation and thoughts anyone?

Looks nice! Many interior parts can be found on many different sites - if you are not in a hurry, you can find lots of great parts at a great price......there is so much info on doing basic work on these cars so the more you can do, the more you can spend on professionals for the really tricky stuff.
