1985 Ford Fiesta

Just joined....hoping to get some help for an interesting project. I am pretty sure that I have a 1985 Ford Fiesta 1.1 L engine, and don't know much about it.

This is what I'm working on, hoping to get this project restarted - I haven't touched this in approximately 15 years. Anyway, here is the project:
https://www.autocycles.org/rusin.html

My current plan is to get the motor running and drive it around the neighborhood! To do this, I will be going through the motor and freshening it up. However, at this point - I'm not sure exactly what the engine is, so even buying plugs is difficult.

My question is, what is the best way to decode the year, make, model so I can start?

Thanks in advance, Bill.

PS I'm pretty sure this engine is from South Africa or the UK, which makes things difficult.

Most auto parts stores have VIN decode software that can determine what engine the car has.
