Homemade GAZ 69

I start of the project with the purchase of my jeep here this one good man. Jeep was in a fairly good condition for their age, and most importantly - had frame untouched by corrosion was not okolhozhen.K word, GAZ 69 that I have in the garage waiting for its fate, it will be possible to recover in original.Delo that under Specific objectives - to make a "weekend car" cut it was a pity. Thus began the search for donors, sketches, sketches, fotoshop.Vykladyvayu first materials with which it all began. The main thing - to determine the color, play in different programs, including the 3d model in 3d MAX, then the rest of the issues, so far only in theory ... Photo real donor ISUZU TROOPER (c bruising) is not found, but I put a photo of the same. To be continued ...

The car has the charisma, style and good design, it became the basis for an interesting project. Originally planned for construction of "car of the day." After studying the various options as a donor was stopped at korotkobaznoy ISUZU TROOPER, as a more suitable layout for reasons of (almost the same base). Options V6 3.5L Automatic 2000.

It was purchased in Germany after a small stroke in the left wing and front bumper (vital organs do not hurt). The meaning of the purchase of a car was that kept all the connectors, chassis, electronics, wiring, all the dock without problems, Spare parts from ISUZU. The new body GAZ 69 with preservation was also prikuplyu on the occasion.

Once defined a common concept of the project - the car must be the most authentic look outside, bright colors, wheels and good music ... Shop reworked thoroughly. "In any case," the machine is completely kept off-road potential - razdatka reduced next transmission impressive ground clearance and four-wheel drive.

Then there were three years of restoration work with all stages - from the design, fitting and adjusting to the sandblasting and pokraski.Bylo paid a lot of attention to quality and detail. Tailoring cabin, tent, etc. Then there was the registration of all the rules.

As a result, GAZ 69 1957 automatic transmission engine 3.5L V6, with all the pleasures of power steering, ABS, central locking, rear-view camera. Automatic modes - "winter" and "sport". They were ordered and brought the wheel from America r22. In late summer, the project was almost complete. The sea of ​​impressions and satisfaction!














Trooper was chosen, namely Short wheelbase along the length of the base very well fit into the parameters of the body GAZ 69.
In general Trooper was purchased, it sawn off the roof in order to clear of it as a spare part, and the car was sent to Karaganda. After receiving donoronositelya Karaganda brave customs authorities made poagregatno dismantle the remnants of the car roof for their sawn unimpressed, remnants "Trupera" still reminded them of the car.
And then after some waiting and searching for the one who crossed the GAZ 69 and Isuzu I managed to persuade to take on the project Volodya Zelensky, the same wizard that created "Black Crow» www.drive2.ru/cars/selfmade/andreios/2/ and many other cars. Alas, the hands of Vladimir long reach of this project, and at the beginning of the year he died.
But "the lawn" lucky, for it took the son Volodya - Andrew. No less talented designer, inventor, and a mechanic with golden hands. Anticipating and preventing issues say that I saw the GAZ 69 wisely did not. Instead able to find and buy a brand new body GAZ 69 that someone prudently kept to this day. But with a body and then I had to tinker too, but more on that in the next recording BZ.
This is probably the first shot after the arrival of the future kastomov rework.



And this is podrazobrannoe chassis. The consequences of the accident also had to fix. A small misalignment of the frame pulled. But the steering gear later had to be replaced, repaired proved impractical.



Trying to frame body



View of the back, frame, so far, little sticks.



The configuration of the floor and the frame at the



Photo not a fountain, but you can see the thickness of the native body floor GAS 69 is impressive.



Fitting bulkhead panel from Isuzu



It was originally planned to implant the engine shield almost completely. So it would be easier in terms of organization of the brake vacuum attachment, pedals and shift lever assembly.



But in the end it turned out, the engine shield Andrei left almost entirely native, place under the steering shaft was made of sheet metal. But part of the floor of the Isuzu was still welded - a place in the selector lever and shifter razdatki.



In vosmimestki in the rear along the sides of the box with the glove compartment for kraneniya various accessories to boxes shop. Since the machine is a five-seat and the back seat will be installed on a standard for this location, shape boxes had to change a little.



Continues the story about the project in the next record - body work and every other.



After the modification of engine shield the turn to the inside of the body. It was made the lower part of the dashboard. Based on the conditions needed to integrate the hidden multimedia equipment. Designated under the instrument panel in the GAZ 69 bit, but Andrew is very good solved this problem. Solid sheet metal is an extension of the panel is made in the middle socket on the actuator, for which sobsno and multimedia equipment will be hidden.



Exhibited and adjusted skids under the saddle future.



Interesting revealed after installing and fixing the body to the frame. Left rear arch not struggled with the central axis of the bridge. On the right hand everything was normal - the wheel stood exactly in the center of the arch. After the measurements revealed that pressing the left Bochin was incorrectly welded to the body, with a large offset from the wheel arches! Although immediately notice is removed from the frame to the body impossible. That is why, apparently, the body was sent to the spare parts, it just has not passed the acceptance. This indirectly confirms the stories byshih factory workers that the body parts fell in parts shops including after culling at the car factory. Because of this, often when installing new hardware on old cars such as GAZ 20, 21, 69 it is necessary to customize the place, and sometimes very much. Fiddle with the native iron ustanvolennym on the car from the factory is much simpler. As a result, it was necessary to cut out the wheel arch and digest the center of the rear wheel.



Then it is time to return to the place of the floors of the body. Native GAZ 69 from the floor gave the appropriate bending frame



Then followed all work in the engine compartment prostranestve



Well, that's what happened :)

















Beauty orange, floor mats have special transparent, but at the time of the photo shoot was removed.













Design drives just like any other item in this car, very carefully chosen. In this case, the wheels were chosen Scorpion SC-1, similar in style to the concave rear gable of the older brother GAZ 51, only slightly different dimension)) 305/40 / r22
