So finally i put my money where my mouth is and last saturday the 27feb 2010,myself and Seamus(Sam22) headed off at 3.30pm in the Transit pick up(Didn't bring the Lada Niva as i don't like showing off).We got all the glass off the car except for the rear window which was broken.We also got the back axle,boot door hinges,starter motor,rear lenses,number plate,some bits of chrome,wiper mechanism.
The gearbox we didnt get out as darkness fell,but i will go back for it at a later date,however the box is a five speed.I thought the series 1 had only a four speed box
.Also the front seats had headrests with the same colour seating as my own,but my car does not have headrests.
Simon,does your series 1 have a 5speed box ::)and does it have headrests?.
Thanks again to Seamus and to his wife Patrica for the tea and as Arnold says"I will be back".Eugene
