depends on what you class as cheap. mine perhaps would be too expensive for a hack unless you wanted all the extra bits too. Not to mention too far away.

Ant no thing as cheap. Oh they start out that way but it never ends up being cheap - first come the repairs an then the mods and then you give up on a edacation so you can spend more time on yah truk. Then you get a girlfriend but she dosen't wanna go wheelin with yah so you get rid of her, you stop using soap or toothpaste so you can spend more money on mods and before you know it you live in a workshop, grease and oil has permanted into yah skin and you drink cheap nasty beer for breakfast an all you wear is stubbies, singlets and steelcaps

run youngin run, it's to late for us but you have a chance or being normal.

Go get a hobby more socially acceptable and less all-consuming like a nice wee meth addiction.

Hay ethan,
seeing as you are not getting any bites have you considered a Lada Niva, they are cheaper than a zuk and they are more capable standard than any other standard 4wd, parts are easy to get and cheep and there is a nice little group of followers in NZ, plus big websites in UK to help you out with any problems. they are always poping up on trademe down your way.
As long as you can put up with a bit of shit for it being a lada when you get somewhere but you soon wipe the giggles off their faces when you get through and lightly modified vehicles cant.

Do not buy a lada! a mate of mine had one and got towed out at every outing wiring problems , overheating etc etc.
A suzuki may be a bit more pricey but will work out cheaper in the end.

What do you call a Lada at the top of a hill ?
A. A miracle.

Somewhere in the middle of Spain, a Lada is driving along and meets a donkey.
The donkey, never having seen a Lada before, asks:"What are you?"
The Lada: "I am a car. What are you?"
The donkey: "Hahahaha... I'm a horse..."

Man buys a Lada but after only one day of ownership returns it to the garage.
"It's no good mate, the car's no good for me" says the man
"Why not?" asks the car dealer.
"See that steep hill over there?" says the man pointing
"Well it will only get up to seventy five up there!"
"That's not bad really sir, for a Lada especially. I can't see a problem with that"
"Trouble is" said the man, " I live at ninety five!"

A man goes into a car accessory shop and say's to the assistant "Can I have a hub cap for my Lada?"
The assistant thinks for a moment and reply's "Okay, it seems a fair swop"

Did you hear about the bloke who had his Lada broken into?
The thieves put him a radio in!

Why is a lada like a woman?
Because when you put your foot down there is no response!

What do you call a Lada convertible?
A Skip.

Heard of Lada's new turbo model?
It has pedals in the backseat, too!

How do you make a Lada worth twice as much?
You fill up the gas tank.

A kid is walking down the road when a car pulls up beside him.

The window winds down and a middle aged man peers out and says "Come into the car and I'll take you for a drive."
The kid refuses and walks on.
The car follows him and pulls up again.
"C'mon" says the driver "Hop in and I'll give you a packet of Smarties".
Again the kid refuses and walks away.
The car follows him and pulls up beside him again.
The driver steps out and says,
"If you come for a drive I'll give you all the sweets you want".
The kid turns around and says
"Look Dad, you bought the bloody Lada, now you deal with it!"

Why is the Lada's rear window heated?
So the hands of the people pushing it will not freeze.

How do you make a Lada disappear?
You spray it with rust remover!

Now they have made a new Lada, with two exhaust pipes.
So you can use it as a wheelbarrow at weekends.

A Lada can reach a speed of 125 mph, if it's transported on the railway!

Did you know that the Lada's instruction book contains 500 pages?
There are two pages with information about the car and 498 pages with bus and train timetables.

Why do insurance companies enjoy Lada's?
They are never stolen.

Why is there light under the Lada's bonnet?
So you can fix it 24 hours a day.

There is a new 16 valve Lada.
It has 8 in the engine, and 8 in the radio.

My cousin was unemployed. Then he became a Lada salesman.
He is still unemployed, but now we understand why

Do you know what all the Lada owners are dreaming about?
Getting a ticket for speeding.

From a newspaper: To the man who stole my Lada in 20 degrees of frost.
Keep the Lada, but please tell me how you started it!

Did you know that there are only two men working in the Lada factory?
One with scissors and one with glue.

Do you know what the trip counter in the Lada says when it's passing 20,000 miles?
Game Over!

A bloke was driving up the M1 in his Lada.
Suddenly there is a pop and a bang and the Lada starts to loose speed quickly so he pulls off to the hard shoulder.
A few minutes later a Porsche pulls up in front of them and a bloke jumps out.
"Do you want a tow mate?" he says, "yes please" the Lada driver replies.
"Ok, but if I go too fast then you will have to put you're indicator on or I will lose myself!!"
So the two men set off and after about ten minutes a Ferrari pulls up alongside the Porsche and they start to race, forgetting the poor Lada behind.
Finally they take an exit to a little village and zoom past a little pub with a man standing outside it with his pint in his hand.
This bloke runs inside to his friends and blurts out;
"You'll never guess what I have just seen!
I saw a Ferrari and Porsche racing at 250 mph and a Lada indicating to overtake!!!"

What's the difference between a Lada and a golf ball?
You can drive a golf ball 200 metres.

What do you call a Lada that starts first time?
A novelty.

What do you call a Lada that overtakes you?
A mirage.

What to you call a Lada with brakes?
Customised.

Guy #1: I was lucky yesterday, I won second prize in a lottery!
Guy #2: Lucky you! What did you win?
Guy #1: A Lada
Guy #2: Oh yeah, what was the first prize?
Guy #1: A basket of assorted fruits.

I got given a lada once. Despite the fact that the beer crate seat broke when you did wheelies off a bank in reverse and that it had a blown headgasket, it went bloody well. Then after i had finished SOMEONE BOUGHT IT it didnt even have much fuel in the tank :D

yeah all you guys are just pissed cause a russian piece of crap actually gets the same if not more places than your wagons can, as for the wiring, seen many rovers,luxes ,cruisers and patrols all flounder because of it. not a brand thing but a owner lack of waterproofing problem.

Mind you minor wiring faults do occur on some nivas most are just dry joints and with a wiggle off it goes(mainly wipers)

as for overheating, mine and all the guys that I know with them do not overheat. mine has lost the fan shroud and half the blades and still runs bang on 90 all the time even mid summer stuck in traffic.

Like the jokes!!! Thought I had heard most of them. but once again proved wrong.

as for ability check out this vid of mine last time I did Thompsons track, only 3 wagons made it up unaided and I was one of them. 10 or so failed and the were all patrols and rovers and hybrids.

Just looked at the pics of it, looks like a bit of a beast.

However I would look at getting a 4 or 6 point roll cage in there Asap as these cars dont have a chassis and rely on the body for most of their strength so if you pound it you may end up with a bannana due to half the roof missing. Also if you do roll you dont have much protection.

good luck bro I am sure you will have a ball of fun in it.
