One thing led to another and I decided to repair as needed, clean and repaint all of my plastic trim to its original color. The headliner either needed to be replaced or fixed and painted, so out it came. Headliner can be saved, but I think I'm going to have to glue fabric over the cardboard, due to the delamination around the edges and the hole towards the front windshield. If anyone wants to share how they fixed their headliner, I'm all ears. I'm doing this on the cheap, so I'm working with what I have. I was afraid of what I might find on the roof after dropping the headliner since the car has a factory vinyl top, but it seems pretty solid. A lot of the discoloration on the roof picture is adhesive and stained foam I haven't yet removed. Other than finding a lot of nasty dried out foam and half of a petrified mouse, I was happy with getting the headliner out in one piece. Here's some pictures of what I've done and what's left:

Parts I've painted:
What still need to be cleaned and painted
Finally, headliner and the inner roof:
