Less crude than some of the panel gaps.

I was thinking maybe it was a KIA produced during their tie-up, like the Pride was sold as a Ford Festiva in the states, but I doubt it.

Up to the "B" pillar the metalwork looks like a Mk4 Escort. (EDIT)

A 3 door Orion? (or like Matt says its foreign equivalent?)

Definitely reminescent of an Escort MkIII/Orion on the front wings. Maybe a Brazillian version?

Volkswagen Apollo GL.

First time I've got one of these!

Why the Ford bits though?

I think VW and Ford have joint ventures in South America.
