In detail: do-it-yourself gas 31029 body repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.
Here is my second part of the car welding. Today I was engaged in welding the rear of the cabin. So I decided to boil the rear pillars: Here are what they are before boiling:
In addition to the racks, I also boiled the rear shelf and the wall:
It was also decided to strengthen the junction of the rear wall to the rack, with the help of such a simple patch, at least some reinforcement will be
Well, since such a thing has already gone, since I have already undertaken to strengthen the body, so it is necessary to do it in full. I also boiled the B-pillar, as the factory welding is not very good.
Well, as usual, a video of the work done
Of course, this is not all, much is still ahead ... To be continued ...
Yes, about the fact that the snot agrees, it's just that I was just studying, but it was in working with the machine that I learned to cook. But I saw how to boil the body, here I decided to make the Volga, so it must be done in full. This is not all the welding work I have done, there is still something to boil, I am also going to strengthen the muzzle.
Lyokh, snot of course, but in principle the work is good. These points would not come off, because the body, in principle, should play a little on irregularities (when the Volga was specially designed, long distances were made to fit parts (compared to cars from the USA) for the possibility of playing the body ) there may simply be a re-concentration of body stresses on the side members and the bottom ... as you start operation, observe everything that you boiled, then write down how the body feels. going out of the trunk is definitely good.

Many domestically produced cars have breakdowns more often than foreign cars. This is an axiom. With a poor-quality road surface, anything can happen in a car. If the owner of the car is not familiar with its internal equipment, then most often he has one way - to the service station. But, if there is a repair manual, and the hearing perfectly distinguishes the sounds of breakage, then there is no difficulty in repairing it with your own hands. It is possible to repair everything in the GAZ-31029 car, and even give it modernization.
Many drivers want their car doors to close quietly, easily and without clatter. That's quite possible. You can also repair old locks, and then you don't have to slam the door 10 times to close it.
This is what a door lock looks like
This requires:
Remove the front lock.
Remove the handle from the inside of the door.
The spring holder must be removed from the locking rod. This is done with a screwdriver (any).
The lock rod must be expelled from the lock sector. The pull is required to be held with the other hand so that it does not fall into the inside of the door.
You can pull out the rod at the bottom through the hole.
Changing the door lock for GAZ-31029
Remove all screws from the end and side of the door that hold the lock mechanism.
Use a screwdriver to help the lock go out of the door and into the inside.
Release the lock from the outer handle pull and pull it out of the door.
Watch the video: How to repair the Volga door lock.
If it is impossible to repair the lock, you need to install a new one. Installation proceeds in sequence from bottom to top.
The main difference from other cars is the booster vacuum unit, which is interconnected with the brake cylinder. It has 2 pistons.
There are malfunctions in the Volga brake unit, you can go to the service station and there they will make diagnostics and identify all the malfunctions.After a while, you can pick up a fully repaired car. At the same time, lay out a considerable amount of money.
Brake system with vacuum booster for GAZ-31029
The second option is your garage, a car manual and some tools.
List of brake malfunctions and a short description of "what to do?":
The regulators are damaged, because of this, the gaps between the pads and the drum have increased. What to do? It is necessary to move back and forth alternately, while pressing the brake pedal 15 times. If nothing has changed, it is required according to the instruction manual. Repair the regulator. Or, as a last resort, replace defective parts.

Any drips have occurred. What to do? It is necessary to take the brake fluid and fill the container completely to the max mark. The second person should press the brake pedal. During these movements, it is required to carefully examine all the joints in the mechanism, as well as special tubes and hoses. In the place of the leak, you need to either tighten the connectors or replace them with new ones. Then bleed the brakes.
Diagram of the entire brake system
Parts are jammed in the vacuum device. In this case, an extraneous sound is heard, and this also affects the braking itself.
What to do? Amplifier check required.
Place the gear shift lever in the neutral position.
Turn the ignition lock until the engine starts running. Requires 1500 rpm.
Release the throttle sharply and apply the brake.
When raising the brake slowly, turn off the engine.
Monitor the brake pedal at all times.
The second person frees the amplifier from the hose and valve.
If the pedal has entered the floor on its own, replacement of the "amp" is required.
We advise you to see: how to replace the rear brake pads.
If the brake pedal is shaking. These are drums. They must either be pierced, or the disk must be measured. If it is worn out, it must be replaced.
With a mileage of 100 thousand kilometers, suspension repair is required. It can show its malfunction in improper driving, erasing one of the tires. But, in order to establish the exact cause of the breakdown, it is necessary to diagnose the "Volga". If it is established that this is a suspension, there are 2 options: to leave the car for repair by professionals (paying a lot of money), or to drive your "swallow" to the garage. The instructions will tell you what parts are required for replacement.
This is what a faulty front suspension looks like.
If you do the repair yourself, then it will take a long period of time (about a month). Because this is all a very painstaking business. Even though all the parts can be bought on the market or in the store without much difficulty. Part of the steering assembly - trapezoid, bushings, washers, bolts, gaskets, lubricants, fluids.
Since a car that has traveled such a distance of thousands of kilometers is being repaired "at home", the difficulty will be in removing the parts, because the bolts, screws and other components are pretty much brought in. Rusted or boiled. Many component parts have worn out their grease and become dry and corroded. In this case, just the keys will not work, you need power, a sledgehammer, a blowtorch, a "liquid key". And also all kinds of oils for lubricating bolts, fluids to improve turning. After long and painstaking work, which requires not only the application of force, but also great patience, the composite suspensions are removed from the Volga.
It is required to revise all the smallest details, where it is necessary to lubricate, where it is necessary to replace it with new components. The installation of a new, repaired and lubricated mechanism is reversed from removal.
It is difficult to repair a car on your own, so an assistant is required. And it will be great if he is well versed in domestic cars. This is not only repair assistance, but also safety.Because the key can fly off the part, or the part itself can accidentally fall (after all, the Volga has traveled many kilometers). You should also take into account the quality of the road and the winter months, when the surface is filled with ice and snow products. This is all that greatly affects metal, and the car is made of metal, not plastic.

Initially, the plant installed a ZMZ 402 engine in the GAZ-31029. Later, the power units were modernized and changed to better ones. Some models were equipped with diesel engines.
ZMZ 402 runs on gasoline.
A machine cannot run forever without some intervention. After passing several thousand tens of kilometers, the "heart" of the Volga begins to demand repairs from itself. This is manifested in the very operation of the mechanisms, in extraneous sounds, the car does not drive correctly.
This is what the ZMZ 402 engine looks like.
In order to make a major overhaul of a power unit, you need a specialist "motor operator" or professionals at repair stations.
Maintenance of an internal combustion engine itself should not be carried out, even if there is a literature with a detailed description. Because the engine has such nuances that may not be described in these encyclopedias, and if they are ignored (unknowingly), the motor can be broken forever. If there is time and indomitable interest, then the "motor operator" is invited and together with him a search of the unit is carried out.
