Taking a screenshot and asking to chatgpt answers every question in these days. Weird times. :)

These things are epic. We need this here in the states. I keep saying we need a car that never changes, cheap parts and abundant everywhere, year after year.

zYes, but they still out perform the best off roaders to date regardless! It's called pragmatism and they are quite tough and durable.

I need an update on this project!

Awsome project. Usually the brake pedal needs to be engaged to go to drive in electric cars. Is that bypassed in your build?

Как приятно смотреть на человека, который любит свое авто и такую особенно как Нива❤

It is spelled with a Д, not a Т. Just saying 😂

ugly crap

yeah its your car enjoy it

Excellent car. Excellent video 👍👍

11:38 он так забавно повеселился, когда смог прочитать хоть что-то на этих пакетиках :D ой, я не могу

It's beautiful, congrats! I too aspire to own a niva someday, an older one like yours because I don't like the look of the upgrades in the newer models. Both my grandfathers had one. Looks great, no unnecessary tech bullshit, easy to fix, affordable, just what I need. You take good care of it!

That's my first car. It's shit but it brings so much joy

Just one more telling you what U should do😂 instead of drilling the body just make new custom brackets and mounts to fit original bolting points. Because of what it really is (collector item) only because of its history tools papers and so on so I would make them mounts to fit original bolt down points

Plate number "Блять" 😅

блять мобиль😂

Желаю тебе много картофельных сил под капотом.

great ... Polish Fiat Lada compact --door city cars of the 1970s were also lovely and really fine vehicles in their own rights ... speaking of going full EV on this little beauty, why not ... but your idea of going hybrid is even better imo ... and yes, you keep the original engine and parts as well, just in case ... just great ... i really love this mini SUV thing! 🚐💞💕❤‍🩹💝

These tires will also fit this car: 185/75R16 195/70R15, 205/70R15, 205/70R16, 215/65R16

Very cool car, very reliable. There is this one thing tho, I heard their brakes were bad. Like pretty bad. Is it really like that?

You guys are doing a fantastic job.. how come when you pull the gear stick back .. the car goes forward??

Best of road vehicle in the world. Hunters love them

Can't wait for the next instalment.

The crank is meant to stir sticky oil at low temperatures. While you do this, you put the headlights on in order to warm up the battery in order to run the electric starter - this really works. Then -25°C (-15°F) or less won't be any problem. I had one. t sticks to the road at any condition, doesn't do evil things other 4×4s do.

I wish they sold it in the US nowadays.

I would do a 4.3 gm v6 with a t5 manual. It would be a blast. But you're right, it's YOUR car man! Do what makes ya happy!

We have those in Canada too

My grandfather had this crap. Underpowered, rust bucket and he spent more time repairing it than driving.

As we say in Russia: If u handled Niva u can handle every car.

Any updates, waiting in anticipation.

In DayZ, this is called the ADA 4x4.

Cards with years are from mandatory yearly safety inspection - drivers in USSR had to take their cars to the experts within the police, who would determine whether the car is safe to drive, and issue a card like that. Then the drivers usually placed that card with a year clearly visible from behind the windshield, so the road police can tell it is not expired without stopping them.

Bljad' should be with a D not a T😉

LADA engines are fine and last easily 200.000km with proper maintenance. Also that engine probably needs rebore, new pistons, bearing etc. its probably no good after being neglected clearly

wild that the spare tire is in the engine bay.....that doesn't seem like a good idea at all, would it not get extremely hot?

these are really cool.

I like the number plate, I need one like that too.

I would probably change the tires though. Cool car!

That region thing is pretty funny. And that is how life plays tricks on us when we try very hard to avoid something. Hello from Russia. About those documents: There are a bunch of vehicle inspection coupons. Some kind of vehicle data sheets and inspection results. What is printed is an urgent telegram announcing the death of a person and the location of the funeral. This is a notice and invitation, practically. The death of a father is reported by the mother of the person who received the telegram. 11:52 It's a memo. Instruction on how to use the meds, how to store it properly, basic stuff. 13:15 Ammonia solution.It's destined for treating insect bites as well as being used in various medications and as a cleaning agent by itself. Ammonia's effects on the body are caused by its local irritant properties. It triggers the sensitive nerve endings in the upper respiratory tract (trigeminal nerve endings), which stimulates the respiratory and vasomotor centers of the brain, leading to increased respiration and blood pressure. In high concentrations, it can cause a reflexive respiratory arrest. This substance can bring a person back to consciousness by putting a bit of it up their nose.

Despite it being made in 1982 it's exactly the same as the one produced in 2024.

Согласно карте измерения токсичности выхлопных газов 5 апреля 1983 года было +18 градусов Цельсия. Довольно теплый климат. У нас бывает, что и снег в это время ещё лежит.

Lmao brooo, the license plate 😂

9:58 That's the letter. It says "Dad has died, funeral at 25th July - Mom" Random as hell wtf

Братец, номер у тебя топ😅

Niva! My dream car! Most coolest SUV car!

What happened to niva?

Plate "Blyat" 😂 Blyatiful

Yeah man, you just did not understand the main goal of Russian autos: it can(IT SHOULD) be maintained by you and steadily it will become ship of theseus: that shit can go through everything, but only if you gave this monster piece of your soul

Зря ты поменял дверь - советское железо толще и крепче нового

Нива нашла своего хозяина , я, за неё рад . это хорошая машина для тех кто понимает для чего она , и умеет работать руками . это очень простая и надежная машина на самом деле .
