Very nice car Mark!  I love it.

Any ideas on colour yet?  Are you keeping it white or going the full respray?  I've got a mate with an original HQSS and I love the metallic purple with the black GT stripes on those...

If it was me, I would be sticking to variations of what colours the 'G came out with....

I don't think the red would be a favourite of mine, I like the burnt orange, closely followed by the dark green. 

A nice clean white is also very good...I like the sleeper look.
