Leave the interior, but anything you can do to improve safety is a positive step forward

Just change the drivers seat for a bucket and harnesses. It will let you get a much better feel of the car and is much safer.

best bet I reckon, is strip it for the Bedford day then, once you decide to sell it again, put the interior back in again
