The Fiesta Rescue

Some time ago, I owned a Yellow 1978 Ford Fiesta.  It was a greatcar to drive, it handled like a tall go cart, it got 35 miles to the gallon, and it was pretty dependable.  Little did I know that it also had the DNA of a race car.  Fast forward 20 years as I buy a 30 year old fiesta and restore it (restore to daily driver status) with an eye towards squeezing out a few more horses with the minimum of investment.
