In detail: do-it-yourself gas 3102 body repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.
Before you start tuning Gas 3102 with your own hands, you should decide what exactly you want to do. As a rule, the car undergoes minor modifications to the body and headlights. The interior of the model does not go unnoticed either. As for the technical improvement, here you can also dream up. True, it costs much more than the aesthetic part of the tuning.
Very often unpretentious owners of the Volga complain about disgusting dashboard lighting. Behind the GAZ 3102 scales there are only a few small bulbs that are not capable of high-quality illumination of the shield. Because of this, you have to bend down and peer at the scales to see the indicators. Solving the problem of insufficient backlighting is much easier than it seems. To do this, it is enough to replace the standard bulbs with several LED lights. Such an improvement is often used when tuning the GAZ 3110 and other models of the domestic Volga.
In addition to diodes, you will need to prepare for work:
pliers;
screwdrivers and keys;
double sided tape;
sealant;
a gel pen or marker;
soldering iron;
resistors 520 ohm;
rubber cambric.
First you need to remove the dashboard and take it out of the car. Taking this opportunity, it can be cleaned of dust and degreased. Next, we start working directly with the scales. We disconnect all devices from the panel and untwist them. We disassemble sensors, speedometer and clock. We remove the scales and carefully detach the arrows. Next, take the scales and erase the white paint from them. Instead, paint the elements with a blue or red marker. Then we take the LEDs and solder the resistors to them. We push the wiring into the cambric so as not to damage it. Next, using a sealant, we attach the diodes to the dashboard and assemble the scales. We place them in place in the dashboard and install the panel in its place in the cabin. Next, we connect the diode wiring to the standard Volga light guide. We start the car and, if the backlight works, we finally fix the shield.

Despite the need to completely disassemble the panel, you should not be afraid of such work. As practice shows, anyone can handle this method of improving the salon. The main thing is to act clearly according to the specified algorithm.
VIDEO Gas 3102 is equipped with good standard optics. The standard headlights of the car have a rectangular shape and a bulge recognizable for the Volga. They do their job quite effectively, however, these elements of the car can be made even better by installing the original glow strips. Do-it-yourself optics tuning, as a rule, is not complete without LEDs. This method was no exception. First, the owner of the Volga will need to make bright strips of diode tapes and acrylic glass, after which it will be possible to carefully install them in the headlights of the car.
For revision you need to purchase:
transparent and white matte plexiglass;
white diode tape 120 cm long;
colored tape 240 cm long;
foil;
black Oracal film;
epoxy adhesive;
plastic corner.
First you need to cut the corner into equal thin strips and paint them. Next, we take a transparent and frosted plexiglass and cut it into the same strips. As a result, you should get 6 identical strips no more than 2 cm wide. After that we take colored LED strips and glue them under the bottom of the strips. Glue white tapes to the remaining strips. We solder colored tapes to each other. We do the same with white diodes. This is how we made the headlight strips.
Next, we take the foil and glue it to the upper surface of the strips with colored diodes.On top of the foil we glue the black film, cut off the protruding corners. After that, your stripes should look like black sticks. We connect the tape to the controller. First we check the colored, and then the white ribbon. If everything is on, then you can install the backlight in the headlights of the car. To do this, we dismantle and disassemble the Volga optics. Apply a little epoxy glue to the side walls of the plastic in which the standard lights are held. We immediately apply the made bars to these places and hold them for about 30 seconds. It is very important that the sticks are in the same position in each headlamp.
After fixing the products, it is necessary to check the updated Volga optics again. To do this, we connect the wires from the white tapes to the dimensions, and the wiring from the colored ones to the battery terminal. If you are happy with the result, then you can collect the headlights of the car.
After improving the headlights and installing the backlight in the instrument panel, it's time to work on the other problematic element of the Volga - the standard thresholds. These Gas parts are made of a metal alloy, and this material is known to be the most susceptible to corrosion. In this regard, the rapids of the Volga must be protected. For this, both plastic linings and vinyl film are used. It makes little sense to consider the first option, since the linings are very susceptible to mechanical damage, especially when a person with a large body mass steps on them. Moreover, such protection is much more expensive than the same film.
Regular vinyl is more practical to use and easier to apply. You can find a wide range of products in stores in different thicknesses, but 2 mm film is best for pasting thresholds. To apply, you also need to prepare warm soapy water, a hair dryer and a small roller.
The most reliable option would be to apply a film under the standard overlays on the paintwork of the Volga body. First you need to dismantle the pads and clean the space under them. After that, we take the film and apply it to the thresholds. We cut off the part of the product we need, leaving 2 cm on each side in reserve. Next, we wet the surface of the thresholds with soapy water and peel off the paper backing from the vinyl. After that, we immediately begin to glue the product. In order to fit the vinyl more tightly in the embossed places of the thresholds, you can slightly heat it with a hairdryer. Do not forget to expel air bubbles from under the film! If you don't like the way you glued the vinyl, you can gently peel it off and reapply it on the threshold.
VIDEO
After smoothing the film, you need to leave the car so that the film grabs with the body coating. After 4–5 hours, you can set the thresholds and continue to operate the Volga. If desired, vinyl can be used to protect other vehicle body parts. So, in addition to the thresholds, the lower part of the front and rear bumpers, wheel arch liners and body parts under the bumpers are highly susceptible to corrosion. All these elements of the car can be pasted over with vinyl of the same color, as a result you will get a protected car with an original appearance.
Do you still think that car diagnostics is difficult?
If you are reading these lines, then you have an interest in doing something yourself in the car and really save because you already know that:
STO lomat big money for simple computer diagnostics
To find out the error, you need to go to the specialists
Simple wrenches work in the services, but you can't find a good specialist
And of course you are tired of throwing money away, and there is no question of driving around the service station all the time, then you need a simple ELM327 AUTOSSCANER that connects to any car and through a regular smartphone you will always find a problem, pay off CHECK and save a lot.
We have tested this scanner ourselves on different machines. and it showed excellent results, now we recommend it to EVERYONE! So that you do not fall for the Chinese counterfeit, we publish here a link to the official website of the AutoScanner.
If you have enough free time, be creative, have the financial capabilities and desire, you can turn a standard Volga 3102 or 3105 into something completely extraordinary. Such a car will delight the eye every day, bringing only pleasure to its owner.
Sometimes, trying to modernize the Volga, it becomes clear to an ignorant person that nothing ready for this car is provided, as for foreign cars. The car just seems to be easier to remodel than it is to try to remake it intelligently.
In fact, tuning on the Volga is carried out quite often. Below is a typical list of modifications to which Gas 3102 or 3105 is subjected.
As you can see, the main focus of the modernization is on the body. Without this, no tuning can be called complete. Undoubtedly, this is the most expensive component of the car, which completely changes the appearance of the car for the better, increases its technical capabilities.
This car was manufactured in limited quantities on a separate production line. In parallel with it, a large-class sedan Gaz-14 Chaika was produced, intended for government agencies.
The model 3102 rolled off the assembly line immediately showed itself in all its glory. But an even better example of factory modernization, all experts call another model - the Volga 31013.
This happened in 1982, when GAZ specialists had not even heard of such a word as tuning. This car was built on the basis of 3102, and became the peak of the evolutionary progress of the Volga.
The new car was proudly called "catch-up", because the car surpassed in many ways even the famous Mercedes-Benz E500 at that time.
Factory tuning can be called successful for the very reason that the similarities with the usual Volga 3102 were intentionally achieved. On the other hand, it was impossible not to distinguish them from each other by the height of the landing, the number of mufflers and other points.
It is noteworthy that some copies of the new car were carefully camouflaged, for example, putting 2 mufflers in one pipe (so that an ordinary citizen of the USSR would not guess anything).
Shvi bodywork was carried out on the tuned Volga in the highest class. The metal surface was tinned and painted according to "Tchaikovsky" technologies, using several layers of enamel and varnish.
An improved, tuning version of the Volga 3110 is also called the 31105 - a Russian car already produced in series from 2004 to 2009.
31105 differs in a different design of the front suspension, the presence of SPU rear wheels and an improved gearbox.
Note. The body of 31105 has been especially modernized at the front, where teardrop-shaped headlights were installed instead of angular optics. The radiator grille, fenders and hood were also replaced.
Despite such improvements, 31105 has been modernized more than once. This happened in 2005, when the wheelbase was lengthened by 300 mm. And in 2007, cars began to be equipped with a new interior, the design of which had already had a hand in German specialists.
We note right away that the rule of "golden mean" in this case is very useful. If you overdo it with tuning, then the excess body iron will give the car not an improvement, but, on the contrary, a deterioration.
As a rule, first of all, the modernization of the body affects the unusual shape. They are trying to give it to Gas-3110 following the example of a coupe. After that, the car looks much better and more presentable.
Mandatory installation of a spoiler or body kit. At the same time, do not forget about optics and its improvement. As a rule, optics are placed in such a way as to emphasize the individuality of the car.
Improvement works are also carried out in the interior. All sorts of creaks that take place are eliminated, high-quality ShVI is carried out, etc.

Hello my dear drivers and friends on the drive =)
So I decided on this business after the appearance of the garage in February 2011.
Today the start of the global process of the overhaul of the body of my Queen has been launched 🙂
The bodywork will be overhauled, everything will be in my other BZ ...

One of the most popular cars among Russian tuners is the Volga. These cars are very fond of complementing engines from Toyota, as a rule, these are engines of the JZ and UZ series.
The car, which will be discussed in this review, is very similar to a gangster car, under its hood is a 1UZ-FE engine. This GAZ-3102 project is designed in the American style. Moreover, it is worth noting that it is precisely such cars - with square shapes and on huge wheels - that are loved in the United States.
The wheels on this tuned "Volga" do not look alien, but very organically complement the exterior of the car.The grinning grille and the exhaust system, which is brought out in front of the rear wheel, give the car an aggressive look. A striking detail of the exterior is the lens optics with headlights, the interior of which is painted black. The car looks very uncommon.
Salon tuners also did not disregard. The front panel borrowed from the modern Volga and the Nardi retro steering wheel are very organically combined.
Of course, such a car will not go unnoticed on city roads. I am glad that there are more and more interesting tuning projects in Russia.

VIDEO oscript>So, this year I decided to slowly start the restoration of my GAZ-3102. Otherwise, it will grow into the ground there in the garage
I don’t want to set clear deadlines, but I’ll have to break the work down into stages.
Stage 1 - bodywork. The exact amount of work will be determined during a visit to the body shop; before being put into the garage, the main bearing elements (bottom, spars, etc.) were in good condition; I hope that since then there have been no radical changes for the worse, otherwise the restoration is inappropriate
Stage 2 - a set of small improvements. Assembly and disassembly of the passenger compartment, plywood of decorative elements, noise, heat and vibration insulation, revision of all electrical equipment, including the installation of a new alarm and radio tape recorder, purchase of forged wheels and new rubber, replacement of the front suspension with a ball suspension from 31105. Perhaps the installation of a Volvo bridge ”(The issue of expediency is being studied).
Stage 3 - working with the engine. After much deliberation, I decided to abandon the installation of the "japanomotor" - the number of problems outweighs the benefits. Accordingly, I chose ZMZ-409 from all the options.
To date, the work has solemnly started - a new radio tape recorder has been bought
The Gorky Automobile Plant produced the GAZ-3110 Volga sedan from 1996 to 2005. Production stopped long ago, but you can still find a lot of these cars on the roads of Russia; for their owners, the issues of operation, maintenance and repair of the GAZ-3110 "Volga" remain relevant. In the event of a malfunction, you can contact the workshop, but all the warranty periods for the car have long expired, any problems will have to be eliminated at your own expense. Therefore, many owners choose to carry out maintenance and repairs themselves.
Volga Gaz 3110 car design
During the trip, you should constantly monitor the condition of the car, monitor the readings of the devices. If you hear abnormal sounds, try to determine the cause and fix the problem. Do not allow the engine to run at maximum speeds for a long time, do not exceed the speed limit, especially on roads with poor coverage, this leads to rapid wear of the suspension. Try to anticipate the situation on the road, move smoothly, without sudden acceleration and braking.
If the maintenance time is exceeded, the units operate on contaminated liquids, their service life decreases. Avoid excessive wear on the brake pads, replace them if signs of wear appear (squeak when braking). A complete list and terms of routine maintenance are given in the instructions for the car.
If any malfunction occurs, it is necessary to determine what exactly failed. Sometimes this is immediately clear (for example, a flat tire), but often the source of the problem is not easy to find.
Very often the problems are associated with him. On the GAZ-3110 "Volga" they installed ZMZ-402 (carburetor), later ZMZ-406 (injection), cars with a diesel engine were also produced, but in very small quantities, no more than 150 units per year.
Injection engine ZMZ-406 for the Volga car
Various malfunctions of other units and assemblies are possible. Transmission and suspension repairs usually boil down to replacing defective parts. There are only two problems in the electrical circuits of gas 3110: there is no contact where it is needed, or there is where it is not needed. A joke, of course, but there is some truth in it. Repair consists in cleaning the contacts and replacing faulty devices, for example, light bulbs.
VIDEO
In the first place among the malfunctions is the oxidation of contacts in the system. The consequence of this is a break in the network and engine failure.
To check the ignition system, disconnect one of the high voltage wires from the spark plug and bring it to ground (any place on the block or body, stripped of paint) at a distance of 6–8 mm.
It is dangerous to hold the wire with your hands, reinforce it with available dry materials (preferably wooden). When cranking the engine with the starter, a spark should slip through.If not, locate the fault on the low or high voltage circuits. It is better to do this with the help of special devices (voltmeter, ohmmeter, special stroboscope). If they are absent, the low voltage circuit can be checked with an automotive light. Connect one of its contacts with a wiring to ground, the other - to the point of the circuit being checked.
In the high voltage circuit, clean any dirt and wipe dry all wires. Make sure that their ends are in close contact with the sockets of the coil, distributor (for 402 engine) and spark plugs. If a breakdown to ground occurs somewhere, the ignition will not work normally. Sometimes such a malfunction is easier to identify in the dark (sparking is visible at the breakdown site). On the GAZ-3310 "Volga" with a 402 engine, additionally remove the central wire from the distributor cover and check it for a spark (similar to a spark plug).
Another characteristic malfunction is poor contact with the "ground" of the wire coming from the battery. Symptoms of this problem are dim headlights after stopping the engine and the inability to start it (you can hear the click of the starter, but the crankshaft does not rotate). Disconnect the wire from the ground and strip the contact surfaces.
If you suspect a malfunction due to lack or poor fuel supply, make sure that there is gas in the tank. Some drivers notice such an elementary thing only after long attempts to find a fault in other places.
Do not heat gas lines with open fire; use hot water.
On the 406 engine, check if you can hear the hum of the fuel pump when the ignition is turned on. If not, its fuse may have blown. Before replacing, try to find the cause, the location of the short circuit can be determined by the smoked wires.
Gas pump from the ZMZ-406 engine
When the starter is turned on, gasoline should be poured from the hose. If it doesn't, the diaphragm may be damaged or pump valves are stuck. Check for leaks of gasoline in the pipe connections. If air enters the system, the pump pumps it instead of fuel.
In the cooling system, overheating is the result of a malfunction. Main reasons:
Leaking or insufficient coolant level. Check for traces of leakage, especially on hose connections, top up fluid.
Insufficient tension on the fan and water pump drive belts. It is necessary to tighten.
Faulty thermostat. Replacement required.
Faulty water pump (pump). Replacement required.
Common lubrication system problems:
Oil leaks. They are determined by the traces of smudges, the seals in these places must be tightened or replaced;
Low pressure on a hot engine.If the cause is contamination of the pressure reducing valve, flush the parts and the seat in the oil pump housing. Severe wear of the crankshaft main bearing shells or parts of the pump itself is possible. Replacement required.
Back to the table of contents
The main problem for the bodywork is corrosion. The condition of the paintwork should be monitored and, if necessary, restored.
VIDEO Most modern drivers involved in cargo transportation opt for the Gazelle. Indeed, this car can, if anything, be successfully repaired with your own hands, without resorting to expensive services at the service station. We will learn in detail from the article on how the body repair of this domestic car is carried out.
ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also did not believe until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline! Read more"
How many times have the world been told that “disease” is easier to prevent than to cure. So it is with the body. It is necessary to periodically monitor and take care of him, carrying out maintenance competently and at a high level.
More specifically, on the body of the Gazelle and other models of the GAZ automobile concern, maintenance will look like this:
Inspection and maintenance will need to be carried out daily;
Every 10 thousand kilometers traveled, carry out a general, major technical inspection (if the operation of the car takes place in extreme conditions, then the inspection period can be reduced to 6 thousand).
With regard to specific procedures:
Check first of all those body parts that are near the roadway. This includes sills, wheel arches, floor, and so on;
Check the entire body for rusty spots, scratches, etc.
Refers to popular repair operations related to the general modernization of Gazelles, Gaz 69, 3110, 3102, Gaz 24 and other models. In addition, this operation is recommended for carrying out after obvious overload on semi-trucks.
As you know, the factory Gazelle body is welded from two halves. The frame itself is cut and docked. All this, coupled with the fact that the old body is point-welded, and due to the rather large rear overhang, the load falls unevenly, the frame easily bends from overload.
In order to reinforce the body and thus avoid further problems, it is recommended to make a one-piece long section on the subframe. The frame will be fixed already with the help of stepladders across the board. Thanks to the subframe, the frame will also be strengthened, which can even be straightened in this way.
In some cases, the frame will crack. Undoubtedly, this is akin to a nightmare for a "gazelist", because it will be adjustment with a major bias. The main thing here is not to despair and understand why the frame breaks, and how the part can be repaired.
So, you should know that the body is initially fixed to the top of the frame with bolts. All in all, this decision has been described by many body repair experts as unfortunate. Because of this, the frame easily cracks along the bolt holes, because the loaded body constantly sways during the movement of the machine, thereby exerting enormous loads on the weak zones (in this case, the bolt holes).
After the bolts loosen, the fixation point inevitably breaks, which immediately affects the frame, which cracks.
Here's what you can recommend to car owners in this case:
If the frame is intact, then it is easy to remake the bolt mounts for stirrup and strengthen everything by welding a bent channel;
On a frame with cracks, you will have to tinker.In particular, it will be necessary to remove the body in order to put special inserts inside the frame.
The next type of Gazelle repair is carried out long before the appearance of cracks, so to speak, at a preventive level. As mentioned above, proactive measures are always more enjoyable and cheaper.
In this case, it is recommended to insert a 4 mm thick profile into the frame in the place where the cab joins the body.

This repair option is most often carried out on the body of Gas 3110, Gas 69, 24, 3102 and Gazelle, if corroded areas are visible. Below is a detailed sequence of actions:
With the help of a grinder, a rusty place in the body is cut out. If the body is so rotten that a hole has appeared, it should be cut off, adding 1-2 centimeters around the entire perimeter.
Attention. It is desirable to cut the hole evenly, for example, observing a rectangular or square shape. This is done so that the patch can be installed more conveniently, without problems.
Metallic surfaces around the edges of the hole are carefully cleaned. Also, deburring is cleaned from the inside of the hole, which is easy to do with a file;
Then you need to prepare a suitable patch from a piece of steel sheet having a thickness of at least 0.8 mm.
Note. When preparing the patch, do not forget to leave a decent margin of 1-1.5 cm.
The patch is welded to the body.
Advice. To make it easier to cook, it is recommended to weld some piece of metal, a tail, to the patch. This will allow you to conveniently hold the patch while welding.
At first, the patch is not welded in the corners with a continuous seam, but only slightly tacked for accuracy;
Then comes the full weld line, overlapping welding.
Attention. It is necessary to adhere to this order: the welding points on the line of the continuous seam should be at a distance of 10-20 mm from each other, no more. If you can make a continuous seam, keeping even smaller distances, so much the better. Much will depend on the skill of the welder.
Cleaning the seams is a mandatory welding procedure;
After that, a car putty is applied to the place of work;
Then the primer is applied, first the starting, and then the finishing;
The leveled surface is painted in the desired color.
Bodywork experts also recommend sealing the weld. Thanks to this, the delivered patch will last much longer on Gas 3110, 69, 24, 3102 and Gazelle. Sealing is an operation to eliminate possible moisture penetration into the weld seam through the putty.
In addition, it would be nice to carry out anticorrosive treatment of all seams and the patch itself. This is done before priming, applying the filler.
In general, in the process of active operation of Gaz 3110, Gazelle and Gaz 69 vehicles, various damages may occur. As a rule, we are talking about dents, cracks, chips of a metal surface, etc. If body parts are welded in places of damage, it is recommended to weld a local reinforcement on the back side.
In this regard, I would like to give two good advice:
The amplifier should be cut from sheet steel, the thickness of which should be equal to the thickness of the metal of the part being repaired;
The parts should be welded so that the seams are in the direction perpendicular to the crack.
If the paintwork is damaged, then it is better to thoroughly clean this area of the body from dirt with sandpaper, then degrease it with some good means and tint with nitro enamel.
Note. It will be useful for a body specialist to know that nitro enamel is dried in air for at least two hours. But, for example, synthetic enamel, which can also be used, is dried with a reflector.
Before painting with enamel, if areas of the body are significantly damaged, that is, before the metal, primer should be applied. After that, wait for drying for one hour, and only then proceed to the main work.
As for the elimination of the dust obtained by painting the damaged body part, this is done more efficiently by hand. Polishing has proven to be the best way to remove dust.
If work is being carried out to eliminate floor defects, then it is imperative to use BPM-1 mastic or some other.
