I've personally found the greatest technical struggle for mixing this to be evening out the lead vocal's level without sporadically messing up the tone, how about you? Seems to require quite a bit of pre-compression gain riding and perhaps a little EQ automation to keep the tone and level acceptably even throughout the song.
Apart from that, it's fun mixing trashy garage-rock recordings like this, since there's so much room for personal taste and expression when a high fidelity mix isn't necessarily the best approach. It's great that you connected with the song the way you did... that's an obvious indicator you're focusing on what mixing is really all about: the soul of the music.
