The bit I'm looking forward to is the refitting of the window winder assembly. That's always good for a bit of fun! lol!! That's a tidy motor as it is - it's going to be great once you've done! Regards, John I've done the window setup before so I know how it will go.

Hi Ari
I am glad to see you are looking after that Niva. You will find it takes 10 times as long to put it back together than to strip it. ;D ;D ;D

Without the sideshafts, it felt more like 2.5 or 3kg. Maybe its empty ?? and I've been playing in RWD.

Now think how much easier re fitment would be if you hyperlink to the relevant pictures you have
You have a very understanding landlord. I last saw that many spare parts in a room when at Forestry College when we would strip and rebuild a beetle engine Friday after class and be ready for the Saturday night jol

Company hired 4 bedroom house, and I live alone in it, so there's lots of space.
