Well I got it from my dad was 16 he bought it for work seeing as he needed a 4x4 for his work and he had been a lada fan for years so he was excited when he got it but unfortunately the previous owner didn't take care of it so it broke down and stood there for a few years before passing it onto me it had a few wholes from rust and the timing damper shoe was the cause of the problem but I took the time and restored it Il upload some pictures of it but yeah its my baby and I love Lada's

The best places for spares are Ventz in Pietermaritzburg or Pavel in the Ukraine. Both are listed in the spare parts suppliers thread.
