Perfection of GAS 21. Tuning as a way to achieve it

A car produced in the middle of developed socialism can rightfully be called a masterpiece. He attracts attention among the general flow of machines in the modern metropolis. We are talking about the Volga GAZ 21. The exterior of most Soviet cars did not differ elegance and originality. Namely, this vehicle instantly became popular among motorists of the USSR.

It is safe to say that from the entire galaxy of Soviet-era cars Volga GAZ 21 occupied its special niche, differing in the roundness of the forms, the perfection of the wings, the successful combination of bent and flat glass. In the realities of the present, this car occupies a worthy place among the retro cars not only of the domestic, but of the world car industry. Buying on the occasion of the Volga, its owner tries to bring its interior and exterior to its original appearance. And someone goes further and begins to improve the GAZ 21, tuning which can cost not cheap.

Many, engaged in the restoration of the Volga GAZ 21, tuning try to do, affecting only the appearance of the car, preserving the original technical equipment of the car. At one time the car was produced in a wide color palette, which was more than 160 color shades, but in its depth and color juiciness, they are, of course, much inferior to modern automotive paint and varnish products. Painting the car today in one of the bright rainbow colors will let you see it in a new light, the car will simply play with new colors.

Making the restoration of GAZ 21, tuning the dashboard, as a rule, no one does. The whole beauty of restoring a retro car is to leave its original appearance unchanged. All the work on tuning the boards of devices is reduced to giving a color shade in one tone with the body, which makes the salon memorable, bright.

Working on the interior of GAZ 21, tuning the cabin is done by so many. Upholstery leather interior allows you to change the atmosphere of the salon, giving it elegance and presentability. By making the upholstery of the door lining and the rear sidewalls in the same color scheme as the interior, the owner of the car will give her interior a picture of the integrity and completeness of the interior created.

The technical improvement of the GAZ 21, tuning the engine is reduced to the installation of the power unit from the GAZ 24, which was the next in the line of models of the Gorky Automobile Plant. Installation of the engine from the "big brother" does not cause almost no problems, since the under-hood space for this is quite enough. The installation of the engine from the 24th model is accompanied by the replacement of the gearbox with an advanced older generation unit. Such tuning GAZ 21 with their own hands will allow to disperse the car up to 140 km / h. Tuning GAZ 21 also affects the replacement of the rear axle. Modernization is made by installing a rear axle from Volvo, which is distinguished by its low noise and reliability.

As practice shows, the installation of spoilers, linings and body kits can only harm the elegant silhouette of the car.
