Well you didn't mention it so have you detailed it?
Interior shampoo, engine degreasing and an exterior claybar and cut polish? I did this to my white 1990 that I bought and it went from dingy to as-new. Looked simply spectacular! Showroom perfect!
That went so well and I made good money off it so I recently bought something more challengig and strange - a 1986 TDS euro spec carbuereted 245 with an M47! Just got it running nicely and now it's time to attack it! You should look at my project thread.
The other option is modification. Why not do some engine upgrades and suspension? Go to ipdusa.com & start by ordering a set of swaybars. That will make the car WAY more fun to drive. Then go on to a set of sport dampers (koni, bilstein HD) and sport springs, And then maybe get a sportier cam & adjustable cam gear... And sporty tires...

See where this is going?
So in Summary here's my three prong approach:

1. Clean the crap out of your car. Do this first, and be happy.

2. Get another car and fix it up and make a little money. Keep budget in mind; buy cheap, buy a car that's clean and won't need much, and don't go crazy on spending money you don't have to.

3. Modify what you have now. Again buy some ipd swaybars and fall in love again!
