Tips to make an old steel more FUN?!

I'm looking for some inspiration (so show me pictures if you've done this) and advice!

I want to take my old '75 Sekine and turn it into a monster. I'd like to take the handlebars down to some bull horns, add a new fork, and get some bigger mountain bike tires put in place to do some more off roading.

I've learned that after getting my Sports, that's all I really want to ride around, which is why I want to change it up on the Sekine--it'll give me more places to go ride (i.e. trails, etc).

Has anyone done anything like this to one of their old steel road bikes?

Anyone know what kind of components I'd need?

General tips?

Thanks!
