Default Fiesta Front wheels not pointing in the same direction!

right story:

got a mk2 fiesta for free for a run around, no MOT.

had a look around it today, needs a couple of front tyres, washer pump and maybe a carb setup to get it through the MOT.

ive put some new tyres on, but the front wheels do not point the same way! nearside one looks kinked out to the left if the offside one is straight! will this just be a tracking issue? the dead tyre on the nearside front was worn on the inside edge only, the outside edge still had a LOT of tread, inside was bald!

thanks in advance for any help,

craig

Check for worn bushes on tca and once this is ok just get tracking done, should be ok.
