Ted just don't buy one like my old purple one!
My dads is also starting to suffer from the tin worm problem, the back of the floor-pan is actually solid with no signs of rust (I had to remove the back seats in the weekend to repair them) but the front is getting a bit rusty.
Great engines though, I am always surprised when I drive my dads just how nice the gear change still is and the engine pulls well. Just get one that also has had its bushes and front wishbones changed lately as the MK4 Fiesta eats them!
The MK3 is a much simpler car but are not as nice to drive. I miss my MK3 due to its simplicity, I actually did some quite advanced electrical work on that and it never caught fire amazingly.
