  Here is a pic of my 1989 lada niva, as yet have not done too much in way of mods, but plan on some serious fun with it including rull cage, hevy duty Bull Bar with winch.

These are the tyres which are going onto it, as suzuki ones currently on are wrong offset (i.e. really heavy in steering)

Doesn't look like much until you take the roof off....

As asked, here is what the boot hinge is set up, nothing fancy, I'm hoping to get it a bit more hevy duty, but it's ok for now...

And, with the true Lada rims (slightly modified) on the car, wasn't sure about the colour until they were on the car, now 100% happy :)

Yes this is an Australian lada dealers Cabrio. from what I've been told, only 500 were modified to this look. The Ute is very similar, but not quite the same, The ute has an enclosed roof and cabin behind the front seats
