I had to replace the steering wheel (just the regular cracked) — a set of “Volga” GAZ-24. The rest of the components and assemblies: engine, transmission, brake system and control system — just proivisional and fix what was necessary.
For anybody not a secret that the car UAZ-469 from the outset of its release, was nicknamed “the goat”* too “hard” suspension, even in the presence of two or three people in the cab the driver and passengers felt every bump in the road, not to mention the potholes on country roads. To somehow “soften” the suspension, the drivers carried in the trunk during winter bag with river sand (could come in handy on the ice), and in the summer a water bottle (and to wash, and the car will be washed).
The frame of the car body
The trunk:
1 —main beam (tube 40×40. 3). 2 — leg ( rough 40×20, 6 PCs); 3—clamp (sheet s3. 6 pieces); 4 — low longitudinal fence (pipe 20×20,2); 5—support beam (tube 40×20.2); 6 – high fence (pipe 20×20. 2); 7— the back fence (pipe 20×20); 8—(pipe 20×20, 3 pieces); 9—median spacer ( tube 20×20. 4 PCs); 10— fasteners (screw M10 split and flat washers, 6 set.); 11 —threaded bushing M 10 (6 PCs); 12 — seal (cable); 13 — the drainage groove of the body (environment)
It remains to weld a median longitudinal spacer, and the trunk is ready
The location of the seats in the cabin “Goat”
“Goat” — so nicknamed my car the owners of the garages in our cooperative gained weight hundred kilograms, compared to the production machine and the progress itself has become much softer. Subsequently, in a rear spring added on one sheet. The fact that the capacity of the machine — almost like a minivan to seven people and mushroom “hunting”, usually left in full kit and back and with “trophies”. The weight gain was forced to the rear axle, and then the additional sheet was not redundant.
Alteration of the machine began in 1995 and expected to complete it in a year (maximum, six). But this process lasted half, and the car was registered only in 1998. The documents in the special notes it says that the machine is manufactured in individual technical creativity.
Mushroom hunting often been successful, but had to stop because of the lack of space for the trophies inside the machine. And once in the garage cooperative in the container for scrap metal, he saw a discarded broken lid, universal trunk for a passenger car. Gathered all that was left of him, and a day off, welded the trunk for your “Goat”.
