welcome nice work. def don't see a girl who does her own work everyday.
did you do the headliner yourself? if so can you direct me to a DIY or give me some pointers/tips?

my headliner has the droops

Yeah, I did it myself with a little help from my brother and another friend. We took the old headliner off because it was in terrible shape and peeled off the top layer of the cardboard instead of trying to scrape off all the foam crap. We used a mid-strength 3m spray glue and sprayed it on the fabric and the headliner in small sections. Let each section dry for a few seconds before you stick it on so that it's tacky and not just wet. Then stick it on starting at the middle and working out towards the sides. It's helpful to have someone to hold the sides of the fabric up while you work it down. If you get wrinkles you can use a heat gun to work them out. That's all we did and it's worked pretty well. Good luck!

Leaving the chalkboard paint is cool if you let some of your buddies do some more chalk drawings on there once a month. It will be a moving art piece. Have them draw some neat designs, but not to over due it. Its cheaper than getting it painted. Save your money and buy a better suspension to drop that sucker. For the inside of the bay, the exhaust manifold is ugly as hell. either place the cover back, and paint it black with more flower doodles or get yourself some headers and expose that. As, mention above clean your engine bay.

Keep in mind, the words of one of my favorite architects, Mies van der Rohe, "Less is More."
You dont have to spend alot of money to make it look nice, just do as little as possible, but do it as CLEAN as possible.
