I will take some more pictures friday, when shes all nice and cleaned up. Went to the auto store to restock on my cleaning stuff. Bought the mothers headlight kit, came home... the dang things missing the power ball. I was so excited to finally get them all cleared up tonight.

Welcome aboard man.
The fish-eyed look on the emblems.. Is it hard or soft? If it is hard I would say try sanding it. Use a 1500, then go to 2000 grit, then compound, then polish. May be a bit time consuming, but all good things come to those who wait.
The leather insert.. Is it the leather itself that is seperating? If so use some headliner glue. Get 3M, its the best I have used (you get what you pay for, and this stuff costs a little more).
Clear Coat.. Take it to a body shop, and see what they say. Depending on how bad it is, a good tech can touch up the clear, do some wet sanding, and it will be hardly noticed, if at all, and is much cheaper than repainting everything.
