Going for a semi-GT replica look, I've already got a GT grille and will try to track down any other suitable bits, dash, etc. Paintwise, probably the 70's Volvo orange with Matt-black bonnet. Being a 142S i'll leave the running gear reasonably standard for now as it already has overdrive & twin SU's, but it will be lowered. I haven't decided on wheels yet, will probably start with Virgo's as i've got a set, but would love something more period like Cosmics if I could get a set with the correct stud spacing. All of this is of course after the basic rebuilding brakes/suspension/welding that come with any job like this!!!
