sell it buy something else.... JOKE!

you can pimp out anything if you have the time/money/patience.

I would start on the exterior and work your way in. Do the suspension, wheels, then body. The go to the interior, then motor. Thats my order for a show car. If it was performance orientated it would be different.

I would say before anything plan out what you wanna do first. Try think up of some really unique, but not ricey stuff that you wanna do. Like eddie said I would start with the suspension, then wheels then do some body mods.

Before you do any body mods/paint, decide what you're doing with the engine. That last thing that you need is to have to do an engine swap and scratch up the paint. Always make a plan and go through every step one at a time before you start anything, just to be sure that you aren't backtracking, which will usually cost a lot of time and money.

brainstorm

That's the most important thing you need to do.

AIM me or something and I'll give you some good ideas... haha, although I never followed any myself because I"m more performance oriented.
