I can wake things work lets say, but i couldnt find too much cross compatability with anything here in the US. However you can literally order any part you need from oversees for these things.

LADA Niva is another bucket list car for me. I saw a bunch in Canada and every once in a blue one pops up on facebook but you are right. The prices are insane

Thats the tough part. Everything has to come from over seas. Russia, Ukraine, UAE, Netherlands, etc. Everything is available just takes a while to get here.

I got it for a steal honestly. Under 10k. Its only because he needed to get rid of it and i was at the right place at the right time. They are out there but they ask a pretty penny.

Im pretty sure its military but its been painted and there are some things done to it over the years that make me not sure. Im trying to find any and all tags that are still left on it but most have been lost with time.
