You really want that fancy paint that is a different colour from every angle: purple, blue, green and gold. Rip off the faded gold vinyl, and put on fresh white one. The interior needs a fluffy sheepskin dashmat and steering-wheel cover, dyed in the same colour as the seats. Something really gross needs to be dangled from the mirror. Fluffy dice and plastic skeletons are so passe, but I do not know what is cool nowadays. The hat shelf will get the latest flickering neon thingy, just toss out the nodding doggie and the white straw hat with the black ribbon that the old ripoff merchant used to wear. Wire-spoke rims are a great idea, and you must also get the illegal black tint on the windows. Darken the light covers too, and fit a couple of those pinhead blue spots to the front. A chrome tip for the exhaust and you are nearly done ricing up the old girl.

No worse than it was, really, merely up-to-date. Someone with a good graphics package could mock it up for us to drool over.
