Since Retro Rides 2015 was the (unrealistic) target that provided the inspiration to keep this making progress as more and more rot was found I thought I'd put in on these pages. It did technically make it to the gathering, it's first real outing in eight years and my first real drive in a Lada, but was hardly a show stopper. With this years camping tickets already bought the 2016 Gathering is now the aim to actually have it finished. I was put off posting here after looking through so many amazing technical builds but looking back it's come a long way and having it on here should help keep it on track. I have a welder, grinder, some air tools and most importantly access to a ramp so pretty much anything should be saveable. :-) After reading through stuff on here I now want a bead roller, lathe, metal folder, shrinker, press............ but one step at a time!

I've copied this over from a Lada forum so hopefully it works. Fingers crossed!


A few pictures of the wreck at the start. There's a bit more work than planned. I didn't take any when it was all covered in green stuff. Gave it a good pressure wash to help with enthusiasm and wasted some time considering pointless wheels! https://www.bmwfans.gr/forum/

Moving onto the passenger side now. I had thought it was the better side but apparently not. In an attempt to beat future rust any areas that even have a hint of surface rust that I can't get off are treated with a rust converter before getting a coat of construction primer (strong etch and really good salt spray resistance) Any areas that aren't directly next to welding get a coat of construction primer too and any completely clean or areas being welded are coated with a copper weld through primer. I don't think there's much else can be done. All cavities will be coated with dinitrol or kent cavity wax once all the welding's finished.

New sections from Lada Spares help speed up the process. The back of the panel had already been coated with weld through primer before being attached and inside the sill done with construction primer with weld through coating along the back edges.

hopefully another few hours on the inner wing area will see it ready to fit the wings and front panel. Then it'll actually look like progress! https://www.bmwfans.gr/forum/

Got some more of the boring bits finished off so I can start getting panels lined up and actually see some progress.

Construction primer then spray sealer around any water traps on the backs of all the new panels followed by some stonechip just to be sure.

More rust converter on any areas that weren't completely clean after wire brushing with the grinder and construction primer for the fresh metal:

The view from inside the car now. Not too pretty but definitely strong and rust free!

Test fit of front panel and wing. even after some trimming and bashing nothing seems to fit well. What are acceptable panel gaps on a Lada?

Hopefully will be able to get at least one rear inner arch repair section to save some time although this side isn't as bad as expected.

Got the rest of the rust on the passenger side rear chopped out and fresh metal welded in. Have converted the jacking points so they're flush with the sill level. I know they were really practical the standard way but I really don't like the look of them and the car is usually lifted with a trolley jack or two post lift anyway.

Some poverty spec lowering and more repairs around the front suspension area while everything was stripped. Construction primer again to protect the finished welded areas.

n/s/r quarter on. This was the best fit of all the panels and was pretty much perfect. Starting to get real enthusiasm again as visible progress is now being made! :-)

Drivers side rear lifting area/ floor/ sill area being repaired. The last real rot area on the shell. I didn't bother grinding back the welds that wouldn't be seen as was starting to run out of time to get it on the road. The priority as it has been from the start is to make sure all repairs are strong and well protected.

Some seam sealer then spray rubber/ sealer over the repairs to hopefully keep the rust at bay. All cavities sprayed full of cavity wax till it was running out the bottom of the car. Will put some black waxcoat over the whole underside when it's complete just to make extra sure I've not missed anything. Then welded up un needed holes on the front wings.

Etch primed then painted the inside floorpan repairs with 2K gloss point to make sure they're sealed before replacing sound deadening on the areas where it was removed. Found another slightly dodgy area around drivers seat mount so had to get welder back out.

Gravitex coating followed by cavity wax and black wax coatings to seal it against future rust and deaden the panel a bit. Original sound deadening stuff refitted.

Fitted a voltmeter and did some more filler work the night before Retro Rides before sealing the panels again. Last minute panic as alternator died so had to get one on an am delivery to be ready to leave at noon.

Pictures of fitting the Fiat Coupe drivers seat. Not sure where they went when I did the last update. After the first attempt making the seat far too high some adjustments with the grinder actually have it feeling like that's what is supposed to be fitted to the car. The difference it makes having a seat solidly attached is massive. Even reversing the car is so much easier when you can lean back! Will need to get another one for the passenger side eventually but it's surprisingly comfy and with the standard seats being completely black it's not the first thing you notice being wrong with the car :lol:

First small job after the run down to retro rides was to cut and weld the gearstick so I wasn't hitting the passenger's legs every time I wanted first or second gear. Gearstick seemed to be in LHD position. Is this normal?

A quick cardboard template to see if Fiat Coupe rear lights would suit the car as I really don't like the standard ones. Looks worth a try to me!

Some angle grindering at a Fiat Coupe donated rear lights and some cut down housings to hold them in.

Cleaned up the rear panel and made infill sections. Got some thicker metal from eBay so it wouldn't warp too much.

No going back now. It took ages to cut out the holes with a mini grinder but they worked out well. No laser measuring available but flat bar and clamps worked fine to line things up.

From here on in I know things aren't being done in the right order but I'm trying to focus on small sections at a time to make sure everything works. Will then go back and repeat it on the other side. I smoothed the rear quarter into the roof panel and the inner arch as I've never liked the unfinished look when you open the rear door. Also didn't want to have to put the extra chrome strip back on at the quarter join. Needed to get some colour on it to make sure I liked the choice so just working on drivers side, roof and rear just now.

Bit of a bodge but used epoxy metal repair to extend the wing and improve the triangle gap at the top of the front door. Neither the wing or the new door had the same profile as the originals and I didn't want to start welding this area after all the sealer and rust prevention stuff that had been put on the back of it. Fingers crossed it holds up. Seems really strong.

Got the screens out to make sure there was no hidden rust which thankfully there wasn't and then got some Fiat 500 Lattementa Green on. Was overtaken by a 500 on the way back from Retro rides in this colour and it looked like it would suit the Lada. Had to chase it to get the registration number so I could find out the colour code. The old Riva managed 80mph without exploding so it was obviously meant to be! Etch primed the stainless/ chrome strip around the roof gutter and painted it body colour.

Bare metalled the new doors and painted the insides with construction primer and the outsides with an epoxy primer to hopefully seal them and slow down future rust.

Painted the surrounds black, should help discuise the fact that the doors just don't seem to line up evenly!

Blasted the bootlid edges with a 'blast starter kit' from Frost. Worked really well but makes loads of mess. Put plenty of POR15 around the inner edges and let it run into the seams as much as possible. Construction primer for protection again and stonechipped the underside to help deaden the panel a bit. Loads of high build primer and sanding then finally painted. Got rid of the badge holes to make everything a bit cleaner looking at the back.

Dad flatted and buffed the back end, wired up the lights and trial fitted them.

I made some modifications to the rear bumper to get it to sit closer to the body and trimmed the inside of the end caps so they didn't hit the quarters.

Tinted the rear lights and changed the universal high level brake light to a Fiat Coupe one as well as it's much better looking,

συνέχεια!



I had no idea how much work was involved at the start. The car was sold on the description that it would take an amateur mechanic no longer than a week to get it back on the road. Basically just needed a good service and check over and a couple of bits of minor welding on the floor. Got to love eBay!

So much hate for the rear lights. Have to admit I'm really surprised given what Lada put on the car. :-)

Here's a preview of the front ones to take the pressure of the rears. Just a rough mock up but I'm happy enough that it'll work. Turns out a Lada Riva is a good bit wider than a mk2 Golf! Need to order another grill as it'll be much neater and stronger to have a single join rather than try and piece in the missing gap.

Progress has been slow but it is being made. Next job to tackle (which I'd been putting off) was the bonnet which was pretty scabby although basically solid. Worth attempting to repair it even if just to see how effective some methods are. All the edges were blasted clean with some cheap grit from eBay. Made loads of mess but gets right into all the bits the sander can't.

There were some holes along the front lip which were filled with solder. Trickier than it looks when you see it on youtube!

All the bare bits were painted with POR15 and then epoxy primer so should hopefully be sealed. Once it's all painted it'll get some cavity wax just for good measure.

The area around the engine bay was cleaned up, construction primed, epoxy sealed and painted ready for the bonnet to go back on. The engine bay wont be done until the engine comes out later in the year.

A final coat of epoxy on the wing and a trial fit of the doors

Nearly time for some primer..... except I'd completely forgotten about the repairs needed on the n/s/r door which is the only door not being replaced.


Small rusty section cut out the bottom corner of the door, patched and the welds ground smooth. Cleaned up the back edge which was pretty good but gave it a coat of rust converter just incase.

Bare metalled the door (which all seems ok), sealed it with epoxy primer then skimmed the wobbly bits with filler before high build primer.

The door was worth the work. The reflections look pretty good so should flatten and polish really well.

A bit out of sequence but got the headlamp mounting points made, nothing fancy but they do the job!

Trimmed down two new mk2 Golf grills and bonded them together. It doesn't look like there should be too much finishing work to get it looking like one piece. No point smoothing it all untill I've worked out mounting points/ method. I used a fast bonder that set in 60 seconds which made it much easier. Time will tell how well it works but so far the whole grill can be twisted and flexed a bit with no signs of cracking at the joins.

Roughly how it will look when it's done:

The rear panel is going back to green and the lights are staying. I do have another plan to change the look slightly but will reveal if it works. In the meantime here it is with a black rear panel. It does look a bit better in the picture than real life but it just doesn't work with the overall feel of the car. It would probably be ok with heavy black stripes down the side but I'm not going in that direction. I wasn't going to post these pictures incase everyone liked it but may as well!

I'm glad I've now seen this as it's one thing less to wonder about. I thought it would grow on me but it just hasn't. Looks worse every time I see it.

With a loft conversion on the house and the arrival of my second daughter the Lada ground to a halt for a while but has been making some progress. Have been putting a new plan into action/ metal for the rear lights. This is the final solution! :-)

Sending this to the company who cut my exhaust flanges...https://www.bmwfans.gr/forum/images/imported/2016/05/light20surround-1.jpg (https://s154.photobucket.com/user/simonmsw/media/Lada%20Project/lada%20smaller%20web%20pics/light%20surround.jpg.html)

Hours of faffing about and fingertip destroying sanding resulted in this:https://www.bmwfans.gr/forum/images/imported/2016/05/IMG_20160309_181411-1.jpg (https://s154.photobucket.com/user/simonmsw/media/Lada%20Project/lada%20smaller%20web%20pics/IMG_20160309_181411.jpg.html)

The rear valance was also smoothed out so it looks a bit cleaner rather than seeing all the pressing marks behind the bumper. Not sure what I've done with the pictures of this part though.

Some repairs to areas I wasn't completely happy with and finishing off the front panel and it was finally ready for paint again:https://www.bmwfans.gr/forum/images/imported/2016/05/IMG_20160316_155834-1.jpg (https://s154.photobucket.com/user/simonmsw/media/Lada%20Project/lada%20smaller%20web%20pics/IMG_20160316_155834.jpg.html)

Slightly out of sequence as I started this before the paint but have started doing some more work on the front grill to get the ends fitting with the wings better. The ends were sanded down and lots of holes drilled in them to push the fibreglass through. Again not sure where I've saved the pictures. Was also filled from the back so the fibreglass ends are 'linked through the plastic. Taped up everything around the area and hoped for the best. Was a bit tricky releasing everything but got there in the end. Still have some finishing to do but the basis of the grill is definitely taking shape now.https://www.bmwfans.gr/forum/images/imported/2016/05/IMG_20160308_162606-1.jpg (https://s154.photobucket.com/user/simonmsw/media/Lada%20Project/lada%20smaller%20web%20pics/IMG_20160308_162606.jpg.html)

Αφού φαίνεται ότι το κατέχει δεν βρήκε κανα σοβαρότερο αμάξι;

[BILL007]

Εγω πιστευω ότι αυτό ειναι ένα απο τα πιο ωραία παραδείγματα, για το πως ακριβώς είναι ένα restoration (έστω και σε ένα ευτελούς αξία αυτοκίνητο). Φαντάσου να είχες να κάνεις και με κάτι σπάνιο ή πιο ψαγμένο/ακριβό, με δυσεύρετα ανταλλακτικά κτλπ...

Χρόνος, κόπος, χρήμα... Και αυτός εδώ είναι "τυχερός" γιατί το αμάξι το πήρε τσάμπα.

Υ.Γ Α! Συνυπολογίζουμε και την τρέλα που θα σου πουλήσει ο άλλος που θα έχει το σαπάκι. Ειναι μόδα το restoration ΜΗΝ ΞΕΧΝΙΟΜΑΣΤΕ! Σίγουρα θα περιμένει να βρει αυτόν που θα το αναστήσει και "θα του τα φάει". Γνωστές ιστορίες...:thumbsdown:
Και όπως είπε κάποτε ένας γείτονας στο νησί, "Θα πετάξω το 355GTs στη θάλασσα να σκουριάσει και θα πιάνει περισσότερο, απ'οτι να το πουλήσω τώρα ως έχει..." - MADNESS!

[mark e92]

Το συγκεκριμένο όπως και το 110 (skoda) είναι δύσκολο να γίνει αναπαλαιωση γιατί δεν υπάρχουν ανταλλακτικά.
