Hi. My name is Suzette and I just bought myself a Lada niva 1.7. 2000 model. I didnt even knew these cars exist untill I found mine om mxit. I just had to have it.
I imediately started playing on Google to find out more and that is how i found this site.
She has small things inside like window winders that needs to be fixed and some other ods and ends. I just got her today so ill have so see what pops up and then work from there. ;D
Thanx for adding me to your site.

Welcome Suzette,
Enjoy the NIVA and the forum. Spares are available so do not despair about missing bit and pieces.
The state most NIVAs are in was really due to the lack of a good competitive supply of genuine Lada spares
Enjoy

Hi Suzette
NIVA looking good
Someone on the forum was going to make moulds to relay fibreglass mouldings. Names that come to mind were Ari, Darren or Jaco

Nice Niva Suzette.
Down load the manuals and make it part of your night time reading. That way when a chancer tries to tell you what is wrong with your Niva you can correct them.
Nikki Lada can give you a few tips on how to best deal with male non-Niva mechanics.
Regards Vincent

spikes, my first and only task is to get my Niva sorted and on the road. Making mould should not be too difficult, just very time consuming. . . . So I will give it a try and update the site with a new thread
