Re: 1976 Lada 2102

It's not that it's not running, i like the idea to have something to work away on, it's more to do with life constriants and it's a complete waste to have it sitting there in the shed under a dust cover for the next 10 years :( I am going to attempt to put it all back together and have it running ri...

Re: looking for a riva

There's a nice Beige Lada Riva estate that lives in Edinburgh, he always takes a second look every time i pass him in my Pre Riva estate. I could chase him down next time and ask for you if he would be willing to sell?
