I was into Ladas years ago, ive had 6 so far, and i love them. I had the R100 metro, and love it, but by chance at a car meeting last week i met a guy who i bought my first Lada from , and he had a Lada still!

 

So after chatting, he said this car was in a sorry state, needed some welding, but would make something good. So i went to look at it and 1k later, i bought it. Its home now this morning. Comes with every panel needed to weld it up fortunatly!

Reminds me of travelling long distances across Russia years ago. The Ladas didn't look much different then! Good luck with the restoration.

You just need the Fiat 1600 twincam engine now.

it actually came with a Lada niva 1700 engine, these can bore out to 1900cc aparently, it has twin webbers on it too. So i think the standard lada look but with a little more power is what itll get. The fiat engine is good though!

Hi,

 

I take it that you are keeping it so it looks original factory speck on the outside that it has now.

My question is what are you doing to the body work to maintain that before putting a clear coat over the whole car.
