Hi Ronnie
The problem I have with your design is that it rattles and pulls on the tail gate which places stress on the hinges and lock. In my design the spare wheel carrier only attaches to the back bumper.
Wait for the pics then you'll see.

Hi Spikes.
Deffenitly not. The front pulley seal went suddenly and I did replace it 3 weeks after the photos were taken. The Lada is still very dry after 13000km and I am happy. I hate oil miners which work for BP. ;D
Regards.
Hercules

Hi Ari
Get some rustfix for those rust spots. It just leave a black mark where the rust is and stops it from getting worse. Used it on my car and it really works.

Ari I'm looking for one that needs attention. Can even store it at work and fix it up when I have time. There is 4 running around in town now. One have been sprayed black. I don;t think it suits the car at all. I still love the purple ones. Charles

Yes but NO papers. Getting papers for a car is very very difficult. I dont want to rush getting one. I have time. Im sure I will find the right one at the right time.

Hi Charles.
Do not feel alone, Kobus ( our moderator) also do not have a Lada. Just be patient and you will find one for the right price and condition.

Luckily I am a mechanic (well still a apprentice thanks to MERSETA) so I can do everything myself. The dealer where I work even lets me use the lifts over weekends to repair my own car. Very nice people to work for.
