ok, so i thought it might be a good idea to have a thread about my "rebuild" as basicly repairing my lada is going to be a complete rebuild. the first thing that needs to be taken care of is the clutch and gearbox, mikes agreed to help me out so i have no doubt it will be sorted soon.. then onto the inside for a bit of repair work, then body work and rust removal and lastly all the other odds and ends

You are aiming high Jarrod, but with time and a lot of effort it is doable.

The more you weld the better it gets. weld some scrap for an hour or so and then start the important stuff.

Post some pics of your bullbar please, it looks interesting, and maybe some front back and side close-ups so we can see her properly.

Hi Jarrod Where Ari gets the idea the more you weld the better it gets from I do not know. I have been welding for many years and I am as bad now as i was when I started. I have even welded 2 pieces together and when I chipped of the slag I had a neat weld down each piece of steel but still had 2 separate pieces . At least you have more time than me to learn Ronnie
