Hi Eddy Welcome to the forum and thanks for the interesting pic. Tell us a bit more - very curious as to where that was taken and I am sure many members are dying to hear about the mod and the huge amount of lift you added to the Niva Regards Marius

Hi All,
Firstly, Hein, great job on restoring your Niva bud. It looks like a completely different vehicle.
Danie, thanks for posting those pics for me. Those are 15" rims that were on the Niva when I bought it, they were chromed but I had them powder coated and I fitted 215s.
Thanks Duane.
Thank you Ronnie. I'm gratefull that I found such a neat Niva. Unortunately as can be seen in the front view pic, there an empty void where the front diff was before. Yup, this little guy is RWD now. The gear ratios are a bit off (as you mentioned they would be) but vibrations are completely eliminated.
EDIT: Oh yes, as can also be seen in the pics, I'm searching for some side mirrors. If anyone know where I can find some please let me know.
Thanks, Douw

Hi Danie
What do you mean about the rims?

Post by danie on Oct 5, 2010 17:37:49 GMT 2
Hi Charles
By having a second look at the rims, I guess it is Pro Whites - (or similar rims) which have been repainted ?
My rims are wider, and therefore look a bit different. Or maybe the dark color just make it look different....
Regards
Danie

Hi Charles I'm glad she found you - with those tyres those axles ain't going nowhere The large water container is from a 1600 and it looks like the caps of the brake and clutch fluid have been switched the wrong way. Regards Marius

Hi Charles
It looks like you have the modified trevor knutsen thermostat in your top radiator hose. Your radiator cap looks fairly new, the heater looks like it is still connected

Hi Marius
Thank you for pointing that out. Managed to get a proper steeringwheel today from Michael at Rangers in Utenhage. Going to find out from him tomorrow if he doesn't maby have a speedo cable for me also. Does anybody have a idea how much Ventz charge for a speedo cable.

Hi Charles
Are you collecting from Michael this weekend? If you are then why don't we go there together. I have only spoken to him twice and would also like to see his 6 Lada's. Maybe we can find some more spares from him.
Let me know then we can meet up or go from PE together in my Lada.
PS. We must get him on this forum.

Hi Hein
Rangers deliver to Humansdorp two times a week. He is sending my stuff with them. I will tell him tomorrow about the forum. Hopefully he will join. The guys who work with him says he is very "suinig" with his spares.
