Hey Guys ..
i was searching ebay and found possible project
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...84.m1431.l2649
here is my question to guys who possibly have done this before.. how much money would it take it restore it to decent condition ?
and painted ?
i dont need a SHOW car .. just something for fun
or maybe somebody wanna trade welderS for this project ?
let me know guys ...
could be a cool vehicle.
Looks like parts are available from several suppliers throughout Europe:

http://ladaparts.ru/uaz/#
Found it on Craigslist as well:
http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/cto/2837525392.html
That was the ONLY hit in North America for Craigslist.
The body looks good and seller says it runs so I think you could do a driver resto for less than 5 grand as long as all parts are there and the body is truely rust free. It would sure be unique driver I say go for it and have fun.
The body work is the most expensive part of the restoration, you could always rough in the body work and either cammo it or go with a rustoleum paint product.
Most impotant to keep it mechanically sound, body looks fine as is, check out this video for them in action :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIpRju_pJAM

Ruslan, Good idea putting the winch in that nice bumper.. if it comes off, you can carry it home on your shoulder. :D

Maybe you should hire a pro shop to do this, the whole thing is a business write off. It'll look good in green!
Jake
I don't want to spend 10k on it :)

I can help you get a project going. I'm in Fresno, CA, and San Fran isn't too far from me. I've got other customers that make that trek to have me work on their stuff now.
cash and/or welders would be considered.
Олег ,я узнал все что тебя интерисует.(звони на скайп):)
Too bad I left the Bay Area in 2003 :( I can do mechanical work and body/paint work and wouldn't mind some trades.. Good luck getting something you will enjoy Oleg!
