Nice place to start you got there

red with the gold flash aka lotus colours would look lovely stick a zetec in with the copy Bda rocker covers and that's you got some cheap modern power

i would also get rid of the stearing box and all the wanky set up on the front and use capri bits to transform it to a nice stearable car. colour wise that is personal taste old english white looks good and gives it a nice sharp look
