Rusty Lada VAZ 2101

[svoh]

Hello Everyone,

I am thinking of buying a Lada and it's in really good status inside and outside. However under the car it's pretty rusty everywhere. Do you have any idea what would be the cost to fix it under?

Lets imagine I have to fix everything how much do you think it would cost me? I was thinking of buying it today or tomorrow if I could get an answer.

I took some pictures of the worst parts here they are :

Well, it depends. Do you know how to weld, do you have some friend who knows how to weld or do you have to take the car to the bodyshop and let the proffesionals work with it. IMO there is nothing horrible in these pictures, just normal ageing of the car, most of the Ladas in the market are in same or eaven in worse shape.
Without seeing the car it is imposible to say the cost of fixing it, but i am sure that it is 1000+ euros if you take it to the proffesional bodyshop. If you do it yourself or with the help of capable friends, it is much cheaper.

@Tom : Yes it's this one. I ended up buying it.

@Kitt : well I don't have skills neither a place to do it so it's rather complicated.

However does anyone have an idea what is the tyre pressure for the car?

[logman]

1,8 bar must be ok for tubed tyres.

Thank you. I have another stupid question What Gasoline do I put inside 95 or 98? Does it need a any additive on top of that since it's old car?

[lada]

It runs on normal 95 octane, no additives needed.

Last question is there any meeting of Ladaclub members?

[Kytt]
