Lada to enter WTCC?

[shamrocker]

Hello, everyone. Forgive me for going off topic, but I have a situation which I am seeking assistance. After checking other sites, I found you guys to be 'informed' on the Lada car.

To make a long story short. My son has (had) a Lada 2110 which was totally destroyed by a fire (thanks to a lousy mechanic working on it at the time). All we have left is the chassis. What my son & I are hoping to do is rebuild the car with whatever spare parts we can find here in Egypt OR find a dealer who will ship to us an engine and maybe other spare parts we can't find here. Can any of you direct me to someone in Russia or Europe who can deal with us on this sort arrangement? I would most appriciate it.

Thanks Fatska for such a quick response to my post/email. I have opened an album in my profile which allows for only 3 pictures, so I've put 3 of the burnt car in there. My son is as much a novice as I am (he's very young & I'm just a housewife). So, if some of my questions seem totally ignorant... you can take that guess to the bank... lol!

Q: Does Lada provide 'Automatic' models? My son wants to make his Lada automatic instead of shift. It's no big deal if it doesn't.

Q: Will any other model of Lada fit on a 2110 chassis?

A: Lada didn't produce any cars with automatics, AFAIK, at least in big numbers. But there was an attempt by some company in Moscow to put an old Toyota (Corolla's if I'm not mistaken) automatic gearbox in -10 series. I've read about it nearly 4-5 years ago.

A: I believe the restyled 2110, called Priora, can fit the chassis.

BTW: I'm not soo fat and I don't listen to ska music

Also, before the moderators came, I think you may open a new thread in 'User's rides' section, where it would be more convenient to speak about an exact car.
