Winter Projects

Polished suspension??? You go to lots of shows I assume. That must be an absolute pain to keep looking nice. I try to just keep mine clean and its almost impossible.

Going take apart my 3 peice wheels for the second time in 2yrs to PC the barrels black then add a 1/4 " red pinstripe around the outside perimeter to match the red pc brake cals.
Looks like I will also PC an extra set of half shafts & drive shaft (easier to maintain than polished) My suspension is all polished and I'm always give it a once over to keep it looking game ready. Like to do the same to the Batwing if anybody knows of an extra for sale.

Would love to see some pics of the suspension and shafts Ricky!

The next project will be door window sill seals as they are starting to crack.
Who makes the best looking/fitting/good quality replacements?

Tom the concensus that I found by searching the topic on the felt outer window wipes seem to be get the GM ones.....expensive, but they seem to be the better choice for ease on install and final results. If you need GM P/N's I can dig them out of my bill collection.

Lada is the trademark of AvtoVAZ, a Russian car manufacturer in Togliatti, Samara Oblast. All the manufacturer's vehicles sold nowadays are of the Lada brand but this has not always been so. Ladas were AvtoVAZ's export vehicles, the same models being sold under the Zhiguli brand on the domestic Soviet market since 1970. Lada made its name in Western Europe selling the Fiat 124-based VAZ-2101 and its many derivatives as an economy car in large quantities during the 1980s, but subsequent models have not enjoyed the same success. In Sweden, the early models were sold under the name "VAZ" due to similarity between Lada and the Swedish word for "barn".
