UAZ was originally designed as an all-terrain vehicle and replaced the legendary GAZ-69. Even now, this vehicle is very popular, especially among residents of villages, and worthily occupies its niche in the class of SUVs. However, over time, the requirements for the capabilities and safety of cars increased, and the only way out of the situation is the so-called tuning.
Why do you need a remake of the UAZ?
The answer to this question is ambiguous. Someone, due to the particular terrain of operation, is not satisfied with the driving performance of the car. Someone expressed a desire to take part in the competition, but someone simply does not like the appearance of the car. In each of these cases, intervention in the design of the car is necessary, and before proceeding with any changes, you need to clearly understand the ultimate goal. The complexity of future work and the amount of money invested in it will depend on this.
UAZ alteration is mainly carried out in three directions:
- improving driving performance for further operation in rural areas;
- preparing a vehicle for participation in sports competitions;
- regular restayl, the purpose of which is to improve the appearance and increase the level of comfort of the car.
But first things first.
Alteration of UAZ to fit your needs
Perhaps the easiest way to change the Soviet SUV is Raistyle. In this case, the changes will affect only the exterior. Here it is possible to use some elements of the body with modern SUVs, install a more comfortable interior, repaint the body, install hatches and power windows. As a result of work on the UAZ, a more comfortable car is obtained, which, while maintaining its factory driving performance, can compete with some foreign-made SUVs.
The second direction in which the UAZ is being redesigned is preparing the car for more severe operating conditions. Here are your options. Along with increasing ground clearance and making some changes to the design feature of the chassis, it is possible to make changes to the appearance of the car. Thus, the output is a car that will fully satisfy the needs of rural residents or outdoor enthusiasts.
The most difficult alteration is the preparation of a vehicle for participation in sports competitions. In such cases, the entire chassis of the car is built from scratch. At the same time, components can be selected from other cars or can be custom-made according to individual drawings. It is worth noting that such interventions in design features will require, at a minimum, special skills and accurate calculation. Otherwise, nothing good will come of the venture.
The tablet can also be changed
Not devoid of attention of craftsmen and UAZ "Loaf". Alteration of this vehicle is mainly aimed at improving its driving performance and improving the appearance of the car. After careful intervention in the construct, this vehicle gains a second life and the result is a magnificent car designed for outdoor enthusiasts (hunting, fishing, family outings).
