It’s great when classic cars are passed in family from father to son. This Lada 1600 was bought brand-new by our today hero’s grandfather back in 1979. It was an export version made for Hungary but due to a couple of exterior details missing and after some negotiations have been done, the customs officers took the car off the train. 

Artyom’s grandpa, having sold his black Volga for 45,000 rubles, bought this Lada, as it was called in the USSR, for 25,000 rubles. You could pay five to six grand in a shop for such car but for that you would have to wait several years – the deficit of goods in Soviet Union was an awful thing. Later Artyom’s father would own this car before passing it to his son in 2008.

The car needed a complete rebuild at that time. And, as it usually happens, Artyom accidentally saw some pictures of low Ladas that inspired him for the future development of his own project.

These cars have many weak spots, which need reinforcement when you modify the car. Those were A- and B-pillars and front side members and arches. Front quarter panels needed replacement, so Artyom sourced out the panels, which were produced in the USSR and were of better quality. Also, he decided that the car needed a brighter colour and, coincidentally, a fresh paintjob. Chrome parts were also refurbished and polished. Artyom found a rare beige interior that replaced the old one. The steering wheel was bought accidentally and came of a Fiat 124 Spider, while the wooden panels for the dashboard were custom-made from a piece of oak.
