Project Cars: 1988 Lada Niva

I’ve been trying to keep this on the down low but it seems the cat and the bag have separated somewhat, so yes, I have another Niva. And by ‘another’, I mean that this Fern Green 1988 Lada Niva marks the sixth time one of the charismatic Russian 4WDs has ended up in my care. No late-night questionable decision on eBay this time though (Nivas 2 and 3), nor was it a well-meaning but doomed-from-the-start project (Niva 5). No, Niva number six was a generous birthday gift from some friends.
