Hi once again,

So I bought this off Ned on Wednesday and drove it home on Thursday.

So specs to my knowledge:

1500cc Petrol engine

5 speed manual

Russian tank-like build

So this morning I gave it a clean, and only 1 photo came out ok:

Cheers Mum's camera :/

What has been done already:

Clean

Removed RSA stickers and random white sticker from the rear window

Driven

What needs to be done:

More cleaning and vaccuming

Fix a few of the door cards

Sounds like the exhaust manifold gasket is goneburgers (sounds like a tractor)

Accelerator pedal is really "springy" (best way to describe it)

General tidy up

Sweet Saturday Update

Alrighty, the first thing that bugged me about the car was the boot card was half hanging off.

So it went from this:

To this:

Thanks to the Mrs. and a hot glue gun.

Gave it a bit of a vaccum:

Also took the headrest's off for that "Euro" look, let me know with your honest opinions please.

So hopefully this will make an appearance at the Caffeine and Classics meet.

See y'all there.

Fail post!

This morning I decided to try and swap the bumpers over.

So these are the bumpers I got off P-Star (Vince) off his Niva.

They seemed to line up ok, so I took the front bumper off.

Lined the bumper up but FAIL!! the bars that go into the holes are too big!!

So I've decided just to peel the red off the current bumpers, which I will start after work.

Super Pictureless Sunday Update!

Well after working on KP60Nick's Starlet all day, we had enough time to check the Lada quickly.

So couple of things fixed:

+ There was a small fuel leak from one of the pipes going into the carb, a new hose clamp fixed that.

+ Accelerator pedal is really "springy" (best way to describe it) Thats right, reason for springyness? There was a spring attached near the pedal, removed it, no more springyness. loooooooo0ooooooool.
