australian lada niva forum

My baby got her rego today after three months of tinkering.
Thanks to all on the forum for the priceless information and helpful tips.
Thanks to Andy at Lada parts for the parts and the yarns.
Here is a basic breakdown
purchase price $500, parts about $1400, rwc $60, rego $650.
55 hours of me tinkering in the shed with three broken fingers(rugby) and a neck injury(motocross).
Parked for two weeks waiting for my mate to do the RWC!!!!
I learnt a few new swear words during it all but today when I was arming it along the main street of Geelong in the storm it sort of all felt worth while!

I got back just now from my vest wearing neighbours place, he has bought a new Rangie!! he seemed to dislike me banging on about the Niva for a few reasons but mostly the fact that he paid 100 grand more than I paid for my Niva!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
