Scary moment I bet! If car swapped ends under hard braking then sounds like brake bias is wrong - rears should never lock before fronts. Are you are using standard Fiesta MK2 axle & drums? - if so check bias (G) valve and its mounting angle. Also worth checking rear wheel cylinder size - smaller ones maybe worth trying. Fiiting an adjustable bias valve is another option but this requires some re-plumbing of brake system.
