1988 Lada Niva 4x4 Chassis Inspection

It is near impossible to find any classic, Soviet-era Niva in this condition. This is an all-original, rust-free Niva. The body is completely straight, with uniform panel gaps all around. There is no rust or deformation in any of the typical problem areas - rocker panels, rain channels, lower quarter panel, lower doors, lower fenders, and wheels wells are straight and completely rust free; just as it left the factory. All rubber seals are complete and in fantastic condition, including window & door seals and bumper caps. All exterior trim, including badges, grille, bumpers, mirrors, and door handles are free of any damage. Wheels and tires are original and in incredible condition, with no rust or dry rot. Developed specifically for the Niva, these off-road biased tires have deep, uniform, crisp tread all around.

Under the hood, you find a meticulously clean engine bay. There is no underhood rust! Plastic reservoirs are clean and clear. Original wiring, including the ignition system, is clean, intact, and pliable. The spare tire, located underhood, is completely clean and never mounted onto the car. The cooling fan and shroud are in factory original condition. There is no seepage or leaks from the gaskets. Even the original stickers are present underhood. The rust-free condition is even more impressive given that this Niva was never undercoated, allowing you to see the all-original unibody, rockers, exhaust, and suspension components. All are in solid, rust-free condition and operate beautifully.

For how much did you sell the Lada Niva for $??

88? I don't belive it, show me the rear lights.

El problema del niva es que no tiene chasis, por eso no puede competir con los toyotas o mitsubishe, el niva como motor es inmejorable, pero tiene ese defecto, no tiene chasis.

I’m thinking of getting one. What is the usual vommon problems? Today i drive a mercedes w123 and a s123 and i love them but parts are getting hard to get, they rust like nothing else (on swedish salty roads) and the automatic trans is quite complicated. I have no problems in welding and i have all tools but i need someting that does not need attention all the time. I have already changed the whole floor on the w123 and soon i need to do it on the s123.

These look even more simple than w123 series or volvo 240 and as i said, repairing is no issue for me, but not all the time please. Could you say what is the most common problems and what should i look at when getting one?
