If You have a look at the book ficus in temperate climate he has some good examples of transforming tree like yours into masterpieces.

looks like you have a nice tree in the making there. Seems like one of the naturally 'styled' trees you see in parks in Sydney. Maybe just thin out the top a little, feed it up and bring the canopy back in with some bud tipping/cut backs. I'm sure a ficus master will step in with a nice virt or some detailed advice for you.
