Lada 1500 ore is it!

This is my second car, the Lada/VAZ 2103. Well It might look like an ordernary Lada. But
theres more then meets the eye.
I got this car from a family relative, was hardly in use when they got it on septembre 2004.
The car has its story:
Before it landed in my family, it was owned by a old truck driver in Tallinn. He got it in 02.09.1975 and it was brand new, right out of the store. At that time VAZ 2103 was a new model and not very common. Getting cars thouse days was not just walking in to the car dealers shop and buying one.
You had to have a license from the local commision that approved you had the right to get a car.
Sounds stupid I know, but in thouse days it was serious bisness.
The car got in to my family by just a lucky coinsidents. Just one of my frends asked use that do we need a car, hes father (the owner) is not it good health anymore. So if you are interested I would sell the car to you. At first we didnt know how to respond to it.
But finally we desided to take it.
The car had been not in use since 2001 and the first thing we did was take it out of the garage and take it on a trailer and go to the inspection to get the documentation done.
At first we did not have a garage to but it in to and it was in the open for 6 months.
The car came to a hold again in 2005.

2008 I conviced my relative to give the car to me, I saw that the condition of the car had turned in to a direction I found disturbing. So on summer 2008 a started to take some seriouse works on it. And instantly I had problems coming all the way.
The cars engine did not wanted to run, brakes where on,clutch was stuck, generator was not
responding. It took day to get it out from the barn, I had to take a tractor, since the cluch was not working and I had to bull it out.
Ok, two weeks of painfull work and I got everything In order as it should, fixed the problems.
