Chris,

Somebody was certainly creative with this Manx.  After seeing both taillights I admit being partial to the beetle light rather than the bus one.  I wonder if that bus light is visible from behind at that angle.  

Also partial to the chrome light housing on the floorpan body rather than the popes nose style.   It looks like it fits.

I ran the stock steering wheel on mine until I finally got tired of fighting it trying to get into the car.  I'm tall so a smaller wheel made the car easier to get into with the top on plus more leg room.  

Depending on the period image your looking for it will be interesting to see what you decide.

Interesting shift lever.  Mine is in the stock position and never had a problem with it getting to close to the dash.  

Still having fun?  Does it look like that body will buff out?
