This utility purpose is naturally dictated by the construction design. “Cottager” is a small two-door polyfuran with low sides and a removable canvas top. Low sides make it easy to ship weight, and a canvas awning protects occupants from rain and snow. To fit in a relatively small size was possible thanks to the use of parts and components motorized FDD.
The unusual layout of the “summer resident”. Usually the engine in the car include the front or the back. I have it in the middle, between the cockpit and passenger compartment. This arrangement gives some advantage. The main one is ease of use and maintenance: if something happens to crawl under the car, let alone reversing it is not necessary — all the basic components of the power plant and so accessible.

The body “summer resident” — not a bearing, made in the form of a two-door poluvagona covered with tarpaulins. Structurally, it consists of four parts (A, B, C and d) connected with the carrier frame by bolts. Each part is a frame, welded from thin-walled steel parts and tubes (B — more from the steel sheet), which screws M5 flat head screws fastened the covering from sheet aluminum 1.5 mm thick.
From the same sheets of aluminum made the bottom protects frame cabin floor, hood, engine cover and niche wheels. Cover for heat and sound insulation covered with a layer of batting with a thickness of 15 — 20 mm and a leatherette and niche wheels to protect against road stones and sand — rubber aprons. To prevent electrolytic destruction of the dural covering, the motor is isolated from the frame, i.e. the frame and the body in the diagram are not “mass”.
In the body design used a bit cropped from the bottom door of the tractor “Belarus”. Glazing with rubber edging from the same tractor (rear and side glass). The vents from the car GAS-53, castles from GAZ-69.
The driver’s cab and passenger compartment (cabin), where the power plant is located and two passenger seats,
separated by a canvas wall with two Windows. On all sides the closed cabin tent khaki. It remains closed only on Parking. The movement of one or both side of the canopy removable for removal of warm air from the engine.
Technical data of the car:
Mass in running order
state, kg……………….400
Load capacity, kg…………500
The number of seats
(including the driver)…………….4
Engine power, HP……….18
Maximum speed, km/h…….80
Fuel tank capacity, l…………..12
The least turning radius, m………………..2,5
As for the seats, the front wheels borrowed from the GAZ-69, rear (cushions without backs) — the GAZ-66.
As already mentioned, the power plant is located in the middle of the car — in the passenger compartment. In the engine compartment is arranged in the trunk with the spare wheel, tool box and other necessary things.
Engine “summer resident” working volume of the cylinder 350 cm3, from motorized FDD. From the serial it differs in that it has ignition system with magneto “Katsch” and is run manually from the cab by the kick starter. So battery and starter are missing.
The engine is mounted on a special subframe and held against lateral displacement by the tubular stretching (right). To prevent excessive vibration, the subframe is fastened to the brackets of the frame with dampers — rubber bushes.
Cooled powerplant in the following way. Cold air is drawn through side louvers and warm through a special slit in the engine cover appears in salon, open on the sides, and then to the atmosphere.
Exhaust gases are vented through a homemade silencer active type.
Transmission “summer resident” such motorolano. Torque from the power unit is transmitted to the stub-roller chain back to the main transmission consisting of a differential and gear into reverse, and then axle shafts with elastic gimbal couplings on the ends to the rear wheels.
The control mechanism of the car consists of a “donut”, shaft, gearbox and the steering Pitman arm. It is installed in a special sleeve that is welded to the side rail of the supporting frame on the left. “Bagel” is connected to the shaft with three bolts M6 shaft with a leading gear — cardan shaft GAZ-66. As the driving and driven gears taken from the gear sidecar FDD.
The hinges of the lower rod end is made of sleeves with tapered bores of the segments of rubber hose with a diameter of 20×10 mm and screws M10.

Under this title in the “photo stitch” (“modelist-Konstruktor” No. 2’93) was first published information about my home — country car. Since then, the mail never ceased wearing me letters, authors were asked to elaborate on his design. Reply all, of course, I couldn’t and now am glad to be able to do it on the pages of the magazine.
