Popular Post DoBro Jesus Posted September 11, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted September 11, 2017 So after hanmeet I got told about an old yard on marshlands road full of rusty old cars, as we were rather hungover from the Saturday night me and my mate couldn't really be bothered going. After having lunch in woodend on the way back I thought we may as well have a gander around as it's on the way home. Holy shit what a good idea that was, the place was amazing and full of rusty old Shit. I then spotted this wee lada 2102 wagon nestled between an HQ wagon and what was left of an XD wagon, I had to look closer, what a little gem, it wasn't as fucked as 90% of the cars in the yard as well, opened the doors and the interior was still very tidy for something that had been sitting in a paddock for over a decade. I had Karl and EJ egging me on to get it but I knew the missus would slaughter me if I came home with another car so I just left it. But then I kept thinking about it. Fast forward 2 weeks and here I am with a car trailer at the yard picking it up. Thankfully the wheels still turned and tyres held air once pumped up. It is dereged but is still in the system, still has wof and rego tags from 2004 as well which will help with revin. It has a lot of rust but looks to be all fixable thankfully. Plans are just to revin at this stage then obvious things like slam, reyums etc. Anyway enough of my sharns, have some pics. 33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DoBro Jesus Posted September 11, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 11, 2017 Then today at work we were all sitting around laughing about what the hell id bought and I thought I'd see if it was seized or not, didn't have very high hopes, but, it turned pretty freely, stoked! Then the obvious next step was to see if it started, cleaned up the plugs and points and hooked up a Jerry can to the fuel pump and it took a few tries but it eventually fired into life, soon after I had a gander and found someone had fucked with the throttle linkages and they were all round the wrong way and pointing in all directions so hooked them back up to what looked to be right and then it actually got off idle! Been thrashing it round the yard after work this evening. Shit it's a hoot to drive and runs so damn well too!! Have a video or 2. 36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DoBro Jesus Posted April 2, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2018 Sooooo not much has been happening on the lada front as of late. BUT, saw a guy on nz classic cars Facebook page post up some photos of wrecks down in nightcaps way down south and what looked to be another one of these wagons, managed to track down the old guys number and fast forward a month or so and here we are. Headed down Easter Friday a good 650kms drive to pull another lada out of a paddock! I think I’ll actually use this one as the base and use good bits off the yellow one. The red one has far less rust, interior is ruined but considering it’s been parked up since 1998 it’s surprising how good it really is! Motor still turns over too! 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DoBro Jesus Posted September 30, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2018 Ok progress of some description! After grabbing the red wreck from nightcaps I got told of another 2102 in mosgiel probably half a year ago. So finally got my ass into gear and Karl, Harry and I made our merry way down there this weekend and picked up this absolute gem. As always I was pretty nervous as it’s a fairly decent hike to get a car I had never properly seen. But alas she turned out to be better than expected! Still has spots of rust but nowhere near as bad as the other 2. Didn’t take much to get her going as well, fuel pump wasn’t doing anything so we horied up some fuel hose and connected it straight to the carb and then bam, she fired into life and idled and ran beautifully. There was no clutch or brakes though so she was pushed onto the trailer and back to Dunedin top 10 holiday park we went. Shot back to chch today after looking in numerous car paddocks on the way there and back. So yeah really glad I didn’t do anything serious with the other 2 as this one is the main man now, dereged like the others but a much better base to start from! Have some pics! 33 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DoBro Jesus Posted October 1, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 1, 2018 Scrubbed it up today! Came up pretty damn well I think. Still stinks from Saturday night when we were sitting in it smoking cigars though hahahahaha. And I’m super happy it came with the complete factory toolkit in the bag! 32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DoBro Jesus Posted October 14, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2018 Right, so it’s been 2 weeks since this came into my possession. Have done clutch master and slave cylinder, rear wheel cylinders, got good parts off of the other ladas, polished all the chrome (which has come up amazing! Fitted brake master off of yellow lada which was good but doesn’t seem to want to bleed up, fitted the good fuel pump from the yellow lada too so it now runs and drives under its own power! Have also polished paintwork, it’s pretty crap really but did shine up ok! Took it to the chachacha auto fiesta meet up today, bit dodgey only having handbrake but all went well! Does get pretty hot though, never went into the red but did get close. Drives really bloody well actually! Oil cap was pretty milky when I checked but hoping it was just some condensation as oil is still golden and coolant is still green. Ohyeah I also gave her the much needed slam treatment today too! Looks much better. Here it is in all its low glory. 38 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
