A mate of mine used to have one, quite numble really, no mega-axle travel to speak of (compared to a 90) but not bad.
lots of bushes though, IIRC the independant front setup was a bit complicated.
i recall that the engine is a straight swap with a Fiat twin cam?
the standard Lada engine used to suffer from the carb freezing up on cold days. i remember being on the M4 with a flask of hot water thawing it out!
heater was mega though! designed for cold Russian winters!!
My friends one used to have 6.50x16 firestone SAT's, they fitted the arches easily. with a slight lift i reckon you'd fit 7.00's ot maybe 7.50's
