Get the door cards from a Orion. They come in trim to match recaros. Both 88 spec and 90.

5 door trim never matches escort recaros but the ghia trim matches saff cos light cloth recaros and no handles to look odd, the rest depends on what you want to pay or insure, cheap and easy 2.0 zetec and everything rs xr speck from dash pad to roof clock and its as good as can be imo
Make it low and ecceptionally clean and thats all I would do outside except maybe some rs accessory skirts usually found on an orion bit rare these days
