i say go the lada my mate got one for bugger all and it was the fuel injected model.It goes hard for what it is all i can suggest is keep an eye on the front diff housing as its only alloy and do crack we are in the proccess of having the housing gusseted for extra strength and hopefully it will be good for some more abuse

just wondering if it would be possible to fit lada coils and shocks/struts in a zook?
i heard someone talking about this the other day, meant to gain extra lift even with the stock stuff.
i am looking into re doing my suspension on my zook cause it is sagging a little at the front.

cheers

very capable off road due to the wheels in each corner, live axle back end and short wheelbase.

Great fun.

Mine had the 2l fiat engine, was good on the highway and thru the hills
