Well, I have successfully found a worse job than the floors. Laying on my back, sanding the roof is really, really shit.
I was just aiming to give it a light sand to remove the stuck on fibres from the old headliner, but then noticed there was surface rust hiding amongst it. So I'm having to grind back the entire roof! Top tip: in case you were considering it - don't upholster cars with shagpile carpet, because it evidently traps moisture.
I guess I'll have to apply rust converter, then prime and paint the bloody roof now as well?!

Halfway done:
Bit of pitting visible:
