to get handling well, polybush the front, get a mk 5 zetec s rear beam, and fit lowered and uprated shocks,
to get it to go well, rip out the 1.8, and fit a 2.0 mondeo engine, virtually a straight swap with yours. will give you 130 bhp straight out the box, with a nice dollop of extra torque.

As for the interior i have no idea, i prefer the stripped look 8)
