Can't wait to install this bl and spring spacers. I was lucky on this run, I took a run at a hill and I couldn't make it up, So my friend took a slighty different path, just a foot or two to the right and he smacked right into a rock. His poor russian lada was crippled.. We limped it home and if you search the above link, in the other photo albums you'll see the damage. My friend paid I think 300 or 400 bucks for that lada and it's better in stock form than a Kick

It's a Lada that's made in Russia...  :-)

Lada is a brand name.  They supplied 4WD vehicles for the Soviet military for many years.

Yeah, they have a good following in Europe... Actually I know a guy in MI who has one.... He plaqued it as something else. I think they have a fiat engine with GM FI ....
