Hi Jarrod
Welcome to the forum. We seem to have quite a number of members in your part of the country now. Hopefully some of you can meet up some time.
A warm welcome to any new members I may have missed. It is becoming difficult to keep up especially as the last 20 posts changes so quickly.
Ronnie

Hi Jarrod.
Hope you get your lada sorted soon. Try your local spares shop for a clutch kit. What does your gearbox do, or should I ask what doesn't it do?

Hi Jarrod
A warm welcome to the forum. Hope you get your Niva sorted. Best if you can DIY - it will save you buckets of money. Download all the manuals first before you start anything. If you can't - go talk to Mike in your area.
Good luck Marius

Hi Jarrod
There are a lot of interesting Lada`s around. If you want try Baxter's site it is the best in the world run by a very dedicated enthusiast.

cool thanx ronnie, yip i know the site, was the first lada site i found. the story behind my paintjob the owner before me had it sprayed to replicate the pacecar of the bb rallye...only problem is they didnt remove the rust before painting, so when i looked at the car the paint was still new and clean, now a year later all the rust spots are coming through. but i think it wil be a nice challange for me to try repair all the rust and repaint it myself. anyone have any tips?

Hi Jarrod
It is a long time since I sprayed a car and then it was Duco. Now it is 2 pack which I have never used. The preparation is the same cut out all rust or it will reappear. The preparation is the most important part so take you time and do it right. Paint does not hide any imperfections.
