australian lada niva forum

Is it possible to swap the 1997 niva front doors with the 1989 model ones, I like the handle position better on the 1997 model, and was hoping to change them. is it possible?

different part numbers dan,but i'm sure the doors interchange okay,most parts interchange between the 2,but i think it's only really the handle thingy thats different....

I had a rusty one that I changed, Did I have fun. the screws were that tight , all the impact screwdriver did was ruin the cross, so I drilled them out once you drill the head they fall off and the screws came out by hand and used allen head screws to hold it on,. A lot better to tighten and undo

cool so it is do-able then, will try and look into that after I find out whats causing the grinding noise in the front.... should be fun
