For the US what about the Festiva or the US only Mazda based Ford Scrote, oops, Escort ?
For Europe they have done loads. The KA is an excellent example - engine and floorplan from the Fiesta, alter the suspension and steering because the Fiesta was cr@p in both areas, drop in an old (cheap to make / fix) engine and a funky body style - sell them by the shipload.
Had one of these for my Honeymoon in Spain and it was brilliant.
