I am looking at buying a 1984 Ford fiesta

I was just wondering if there is anything that i should look for when viewing the car e.g known problems etc

I would really appreciate some input from Ford owners

Cheers

    It was originally a 1.1 however it has had an engine swap so it currently has an XR2 engine.
