Spikes i did not plan to sell it but the guy offerd me 35k and for that i wil let it go. My other niva needs some love now. I also like the fact that it is one more niva that was rusting away under a tree that is now running like a dream. Wil get a new lada project soon.

Haha. I was lucky to get a set of rear shocks at works that is still in perfect condition. They just need new rubbers (customer wanted new shocks). Best of all they are oil ones.

Charles R200 odd ea if. To small for offroad but they are ok for running around with. Also makes u think your car cruises at 130km/h. Nice find with the shocks.

That is a good price for the tyres. They are noisy on tar and not good in mud but for the price they are fantastic tyres. Here we pay R150 each.

Charles i am a 100% backyard cowboy working from my own workshop from our plot. I do steelwork but people that knows me bring me cars to fix. Then they tell other people and so on. Now i am almost only working on cars. Would realy rather do steelwork though.

That would be nice. Problem with building a trailer is the disk. You can't rwc it if you are not a registered trailer builder.
