Mercedes Gelendvagen or original Mercedes Gelandewagen is a large SUV that has already become a cult today, which in jargon is often called “Gelik” or “Cube”, as well as “Square”, and in English G-Wagen or G-Wagon.

Surely many people are well aware of the history of the Gelendvagen, but we still remind you that the civilian version of the first generation car in the W460 body appeared back in 1979. It was immediately available in three- and five-door body styles, plus a version with a convertible fabric top.

If you open auto.ru or Avito, you can find out that the price of such a Gelika varies from 300,000 to more than 1,000,000 rubles, depending on the year of manufacture, mileage, general condition, body type and engine.

If you come across a Mercedes Gelendvagen in the back of a W461 (its photos are presented below), then you should know that this is an ascetic version of the same first Gelika, but created specifically for the military and special services. Such a car can be compared with our UAZ, since both cars are still on sale and have excellent cross-country ability.

But many people are probably interested in more modern versions of Gelika. And then it’s time to talk about the W463 version of the SUV, first introduced in 1990. This is the version that is still produced to this day, although over the past years Gelandewagen has undergone several modernizations.

The manufacturer does not intend to deviate from the basic concept - the angular design that has long become the hallmark of the Mercedes Gelendvagen and frame structure providing excellent off-road potential. But the interior of the car is constantly being improved, as is the technical content.

Evolution of the Genendwagen interior

Since its inception Mercedes-Benz Gelandewagen W463, by 2016 Gelik had been updated eight times already. And of course during this time he acquired many various modifications, special versions and . And it’s worth talking separately about the versions from AMG.

In 2006, the Gelik G 55 AMG appeared, equipped with a 5.5-liter V8 compressor engine producing 476 hp. (700 Nm), which soon after a small modernization was boosted to 500 “horses”, and in 2009 the engine output increased to 507 forces.

Gelik 55 AMG

After updating the Gelendvagen in 2012, the G55 version gave way to a more powerful one, under the hood of which was located a 544-horsepower (760 Nm) V8 twin-turbo with a volume of 5.5 liters (this is the M 157 engine). It is combined with a 7-band automatic transmission, providing the “square” with acceleration to hundreds in 5.4 seconds. and a maximum speed of 210 km/h.

At the same time, the top-end model appeared in the line for the first time, equipped with a 6.0-liter V12 (M 275) with an output of 612 hp. and 1,000 Nm of torque. This option is capable of accelerating to 230 kilometers per hour, and it reaches the acceleration bar to the first hundred in 5.3 seconds.

Mercedes G 63 AMG

If you want to know how much a Genendvagen costs, then its prices on the secondary market range from 2,000,000 to 4,000,000 rubles for Gelik 5.5, from 5,000,000 to 9,000,000 rubles. (on average) for the G 63 and from 9,000,000 to infinity for the G 65. Tuning options for Gelika (for example,) can cost 35 million rubles or more.

And in 2015 Gelandewagen again experienced restyling, during which the engine on the G 63 was boosted to 571 hp. (760 Nm), and the top-end G 65 now produces 630 hp. It is clear that such a toy is not very cheap - even for a basic diesel Gelik 350 d in March 2016 they asked for at least 6,370,000 rubles.

Gelendvagen G65

The petrol G 500 cost from 8,050,000, the price for the G 63 started from 11,110,000, and for the G 65 - from 20,220,000 rubles. There is also a very cool Gelendvagen, which is no longer produced. It was replaced by a similar design, but more traditional version. You can buy it new for RUR 18,400,000.

Many believe that a real Gelik should be black (a classic black square, so to speak), but for versions from AMG in 2015 it became possible to order the car in the Crazy Color Edition in one of five bright color options: yellow, green, orange, red and purple. It is also considered fashionable to cover an SUV with film, especially a matte one. We suggest looking at photos of such Gelendvagens below.

Repair of deformed surfaces

Deformed surfaces are repaired by mechanical or thermal action on the metal, as well as by filling dents with quick-hardening plastics or solder.

The dented parts of the feathers are straightened, as a rule, manually using special tools (metal, plastic, wooden hammers and various mandrels) and devices.

Straightening with heating is used for upsetting (pulling) highly stretched surfaces of panels. To prevent sudden swelling and deterioration of mechanical properties, the panels are heated to 600–650 ° C (cherry-red color). The diameter of the heated spot should be no more than 20–30 mm.

Tighten the surface as follows:

– using gas welding, from the periphery to the center of the defective area, heat the metal and, with blows of a wooden mallet and hammer, upset the heated areas, using a flat support or an anvil;
– repeat the heating and settling operations until a smooth panel surface is obtained.

Unevenness in panels can be smoothed out using polyester putties, thermoplastics, cold-curing epoxy mastics and solder.

Polyester putties form reliable connections with panels that have been stripped down to bare metal. They are two-component materials: an unsaturated polyester resin and a hardener, which is a catalyst for rapid hardening of the mixture, regardless of the thickness of the putty layer. Drying time at a temperature of 20° C is 15–20 minutes. Therefore, the duration of applying the putty is reduced and there is no need to apply it in several layers.

Thermoplastic is available in powder form. Thermoplastic acquires the elastic properties necessary for applying it to the metal surface of the panel at 150–160° C.

The surface to be filled must be thoroughly cleaned of rust, scale, old paint and other contaminants.

For better adhesion, it is recommended to create roughness on the surface using an abrasive tool. To apply thermoplastic, the area to be leveled is heated to 170–180 ° C and the first thin layer of powder is applied, which is rolled with a metal roller. Then a second layer is applied, and so on, until the unevenness is filled. Each layer is rolled until a monolithic layer of plastic mass is obtained. After hardening, the layer is cleaned and leveled with a metal circle.

Corroded areas of body panels can be repaired with cold-curing epoxy mastics, which have high adhesion, sufficient strength and are easy to apply to damaged areas. The composition of mastics includes hardeners, plasticizers (to increase the plasticity of the resin and the impact strength of the hardened epoxy composition), fillers (to reduce the shrinkage of the resin and bring the coefficients of thermal expansion of the resin and metal closer together).

Solders POSSu 18 or POSSu 20 are used to level areas previously filled with solder, build up the edges of parts and to eliminate gaps. To prevent corrosion, it is better to use an acid-free method of applying solder.

In case of significant damage, the panels are replaced with new ones using resistance welding and electric welding in a shielding gas environment.

Most often, when repairing the frame, replacement of the wings, front and rear panels is required. Methods for replacing and repairing these parts can be used as a basis for repairing other parts of the frame, and knowledge of the location of the welds is necessary.

The life of the VAZ 2101 car began on April 19, 1970. Then the production conveyor of the Volzhsky Automobile Plant produced the first batch of six cars, opening the way to the popularity of this vehicle both in the USSR and abroad. All.

Car history

The creation of “2101” was preceded by a whole chain of organizational and technical measures, from the founding of the plant itself, to cooperation with various foreign companies and, first of all, with the Italian FIAT plant.

It was the FIAT 124, which was recognized as the most popular, that was supposed to become the prototype of the new Soviet car. But in the process of developing a new concept and testing the FIAT 124, a discrepancy between the technical characteristics of the latter and the road conditions in the Soviet Union was revealed:

• With intensive use, the body and weak suspension did not provide the required strength;
• The ground clearance was low and did not meet off-road requirements;
• There were no elements that would ensure towing the car if it breaks down on the road.

As part of close cooperation, Italian engineers took an active part in the development of the new model and more than eight hundred changes were made. For example:

• The rear wheels received drum brakes, suitable for bad roads;
• The rear suspension design has been completely changed;
• The front suspension has been strengthened;
• The clutch has been strengthened and the operation of the synchronizers of the “2101” gearbox has been improved;
• The salon could become a sleeping area, thanks to the transformation of the seats;
• A new overhead shaft engine was installed.

As a result, only the appearance remained of the Italian car in the new car. Tests carried out with the first six vehicles showed reliability and good maneuverability, so subsequent improvements were minor.

2101 - received the official name “Zhiguli” after the name of the small mountains beyond the Volga not far from the automobile plant, which is located in the city of Togliatti. The people gave the car a simple, respectful, memorable name “unit”. Later in the 80s, amid a decline in prestige, it received the name “kopek”. Years of production: 1970 - 1982. In total, more than 2.7 million copies were produced during this time.

Exterior

The exterior of the “penny” sedan largely corresponded to the FIAT 124 prototype. The influence of Italian designers was felt. Well-designed structural lines, body relief, and elegant features demonstrated a high design culture aimed at ensuring comfort during driving and operation.

One of the leading testers of the plant, Vadim Kotlyarov, expressed his feelings this way when he became closely acquainted with the “kopek”:

To say that she made an impression on me is to say nothing. It literally stuns in appearance... The overall level of execution was so high that it completely overshadows all the minor flaws.

In exterior design“2101” were introduced with handles recessed into the doors to prevent injury, “fang” buffers were installed on the bumpers, a round rear-view mirror was installed on the left front fender in front of the driver’s door, and a corporate logo was attached to the radiator grille.

The sidelights are double and include sidelights and direction indicators. Exterior features can be seen in the photo of the “2101” model. In 1974, the plant began producing an improved model. The bumper buffers were eliminated, but a solid rubber pad was installed, and new ones were used tail lights, new finishing elements were used.

Car dimensions

Looking at the drawing “2101”, it is necessary to recognize that the dimensions and arrangement of all parts and body elements are harmonious and correspond to the classical scheme. This has affected the fact that at present the “kopek” is a long-liver, it is respected and respectfully called a “classic”.

Dimensions of VAZ-2101

Interior

The interior of the 2101 car maintains the principle of minimalism. The front panel consists of a metal frame covered with a special decorative coating. It includes a rectangular control unit located opposite the steering wheel. To the right are the controls for heating and interior ventilation:

• Ventilation ducts (deflectors);
• Adjustment levers for heater control.

Drive levers air damper and heater tap provide the necessary temperature regime microclimate. Deflectors allow you to direct the supplied air in any direction.

Facing frame dashboard metallized. In its plane there are: a niche for the radio, a glove compartment, and an ashtray. Built-in ashtrays have rear doors. Under the steering wheel there are levers for turning, headlights, and windshield wipers. Clutch, gas, brake levers, floor-mounted glass washer button.

The inside of the doors and ergonomic seats are trimmed with high-quality leatherette. The chairs are equipped with adjustable elements with the ability to transform into sleeping places. A well-designed heating system, interior ventilation, an air supply mode that prevented glass fogging, wide seats in sufficient living space, and sound insulation ensured a level of comfort at which the driver and passengers felt satisfied. The trunk is rational and spacious.

Car tuning

Car tuning usually involves modifications, modernization, and correction of defects. appearance. This applies to changes in the condition of the car body, interior, chassis, and engine. Usually work begins with replacing tires and wheels. Forged wheels the most durable and reliable, but more expensive than alloy wheels.

Complete with wide tires, after reconstruction wheel arches, they look equally impressive, but the issue of price is up to the car enthusiast to decide. Good optics and LED lighting add additional attractiveness to the exterior, but excessive use of lighting is more likely to indicate poor taste.

You can think about replacing the bumper as the most prominent body kit, for example with a voluminous bumper. This will improve aerodynamics and create a sporty and challenging look. In the cabin you can install a stereo system with a subwoofer and replace the instrument panel. Upholstery makes a significant contribution to the interior, creating a special flavor and improving aesthetics, drawing attention to the refinement of the owner’s taste.

The body of the VAZ 2101 is the primary goal of the changes. Here you can choose two directions:

• Retro- for those who tremblingly perceive immutability appearance car;
• Engineering- for lovers of modern forms in which you can express your own individuality.

This can include:

• Strengthening body rigidity, as an important part of the modernization process, to extend the life of the car and increase reliability;
• Changing the previous appearance by installing decorative elements, replacing the bumper, installing a spoiler and skirt, and airbrushing;
• Deep tuning of the car body radically changes the design of the “2101”.

Often the bottom of a VAZ 2101 needs radical restoration. Such work requires skill, good knowledge of body structure and required set tools: a semi-automatic welding machine for welding in a carbon dioxide environment, a grinder with a set of cutting and grinding wheels, a drill, a jack, wooden blocks, clamps, wrenches, various chisels, pliers, materials for painting.

Tuning the VAZ 2101 interior is a godsend for an original automotive designer. There is a wide field for self-expression in the range of finishing materials high quality, for example: covering seats with covers made of genuine leather with special impregnation, using synthetic Alcantara fabric with the properties of suede, resistant to various types of influences. This finish will add sophistication to the interior.

Revolutionary changes can be aimed at:

• Harmonious selection of colors;
• Reconstruction driver's seat, dashboard (installation of expressive instrument scales with bright but not dazzling backlight);
• Replacing the front seats with modern seats with a wide range of adjustments, heating and ventilation attributes;
• Giving the rear seats anatomical shapes;
• Installation of climate control;
• Installation of a subwoofer in the trunk of a VAZ 2101;
• Replacement of mechanical window lifts with electric lifts.

If the efforts, time, and money embodied in tuning brought joy to the car enthusiast and those around him, then such expenses can be considered a successful investment in a worthwhile business.

The VAZ 2101 engine undergoes tuning if the goal is to increase its power.

The method presented here does not include drastic changes to the motor.

It provides:

• Replacing the standard air filter to “nulevik”, which, according to experts, contributes to an increase in power by 3 - 5 l/s. Some argue that such a replacement is justified only for a modified “sports” engine;
• Installation of a direct-flow muffler;
• Removing roughness in the manifold, polishing the channels of the cylinder head, which increases engine power by 5 - 8 l/s;
• Installation of a turbocharged compressor.

Specifications

The “2101” engine, the ancestor for all models, is carburetor. The camshaft has an overhead position. Chain timing mechanism drive. The engine resource is more than 18 thousand kilometers. Assembled engine Together with the clutch and gearbox, it is attached to the front and rear cross members through three shock-absorbing mounts. The clutch is dry, permanently closed, single-disc. The suspension is independent with a spring and telescopic shock absorber.

Dimensions

Dimensions of two body options

Saloon, hatchback or station wagon (Turnier): Mondeo plays on the entire keyboard. In terms of width, measuring 1931 millimeters, there are no differences between them. The picture is different in terms of length - the maximum is 4804 millimeters for Turnier, in the other two versions it is 4731 millimeters. In terms of height, each model variant goes its own way: depending on the design of the chassis, the sedan body has a height in the range of 1420–1460 millimeters, the hatchback body, respectively, 1429–1459 millimeters and the Turnier – 1441–1471 millimeters. With a roof side rail, the height of the Turnier increases by another 40 millimeters. However, there is complete agreement on the wheelbase: 2754 millimeters is a good indicator for a high-middle class car. In addition, the Mondeo stands out for its large interior, which can accommodate five adult passengers.

Even in the rear seats, three medium-sized Europeans do not feel afraid of space. Mondeo passengers can also travel not only with hand luggage: in a sedan and hatchback body the maximum volume, according to VDA standards, is 500 liters - including spare wheel. In Turnier, a loading volume of 540 liters is already available with a spare wheel. When reclining rear seat the hatchback model will have 1,370 liters up to the roof, and the Turnier will swallow even 1,700 liters.

The Volzhsky Automobile Plant was created in the same way as GAZ in its time - the USSR government purchased technology and model range foreign company and instructed it to train Soviet specialists in the latest working methods. The Ministry of Industry's partner this time was the Italian Fiat. At the future plant in Tolyatti it was planned to produce three models: a sedan and a station wagon of the “norm” configuration, as well as a luxury sedan. The Fiat 124 was chosen as the prototype for the “norm”.

Soviet specialists, gathered from different factories, began to get acquainted with the machine in 1966, for whole year before the construction of the plant in Tolyatti began (and even before the Fiat 124 became “Car of the Year” in Europe). Whether they liked the car or not is unknown. Only documented comments have reached us: weak body and low clearance by the standards of Soviet off-road; disc brakes are afraid of dirt and other complaints of the same type. Together with Italian engineers, more than 800 changes were made, and not only to strengthen and increase survivability.

Replaced the design of the engine camshafts with a more modern one, rear suspension improved for better handling; the front seats were made folding sleeping place, the door handles were replaced with safety ones - by the way, unified with luxury (Fiat installed different handles on different versions, which is less technologically advanced). The future VAZ-2101 was called Fiat 124R (from the word “Russia”). It is believed that Fiat was also pleased with the valuable experience of testing their models in extremely harsh conditions.

Police VAZ-2101

The VAZ-2101 became the first car in the USSR to receive a digital 4-digit designation according to the rules of a new industry document - normal OH 025270-66. Critics of the historical decision to build VAZ say that the odious pro-Italian project pulled personnel and financial resources from other factories, which is why the good developments of the native ZAZ, GAZ and AZLK, which were more suitable for the conditions of the USSR, were not implemented, and the factories themselves were plunged into long stagnation. On the other hand, without the VAZ-2101, the industry would not have been able to satisfy the huge demand for cars. The volume of cars produced in Tolyatti was several times higher than the output of any other plant, and still there was a two-year waiting list for them.

“Edinichka” became the first Soviet car that started easily in cold weather, with normal interior heating and comfortable seats. On the highway, you could talk in the cabin without raising your voice and travel twice as long longer distance tirelessly. Especially for new model developed the first Soviet antifreeze, the famous antifreeze A40, and created an all-Soviet network of service stations (this was a mandatory requirement of Fiat). The Italians also transferred technologies for the production of finishing materials that would not fade in the sun. The advantage of the VAZ-2101 over others Soviet cars It turned out to be so obvious that many technical solutions were quickly adopted at other factories. The entire industry of the country has the opportunity to take a leap forward, all that remains is to take advantage of it.

The workmanship also rose to new heights and lasted for over 10 years. “Ones” of the early series drove without problems for decades without changing the oil, battery, clutch and brake pads without showing any signs of rust. That’s why they called the car respectfully - “first”, or “unit”, and the nickname “kopek” appeared only in the 1990s. In addition, the VAZ-2101 can be considered a long-liver of the conveyor. Considering that all subsequent models of the classic family are, in fact, only its modifications, it remained in production for more than 40 years.

Body
Body type	Sedan, all-metal, monocoque, four-door

Almost everything modern cars sedan type are equipped with a monocoque body, the VAZ 2101 is no exception in this case. What does it mean monocoque body, you ask? This means that the steel body box is not only a comfortable container for passengers, the driver and their luggage, but also “carries” (and in itself) all the elements, components and assemblies of the car.

The body of the VAZ 2101 perceives not only the static loads of the elements attached to it, it also resists their influence during movement (in dynamics). This property of the car frame is called torsional rigidity, which on a “penny” is about 7300 Nm/deg.

ATTENTION! A completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption has been found! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also didn’t believe it until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline!

This indicator of the strength and rigidity of the VAZ 2101 body is very much influenced by the condition of its bottom, sills and roof, which are interconnected by the front panel, pillars of door and window openings, and the transverse panel of the luggage compartment. You can verify for yourself the integrity of the geometry, and therefore the general condition of your car, by taking the dimensions of the VAZ 2101 body with your own hands and checking them with the data contained in the car repair instructions.

What follows from the above? And the fact that body fatigue directly affects not only the control points of attachment of components and assemblies, which are shown in the VAZ 2101 body diagram outlined above, it also manifests itself in the “purity” of the geometry of its side and front openings. The dynamic distribution of loads throughout the body occurs as follows: from the suspension elements at the front, vibration and shocks pass to the cross member and then to the sub-engine frame, and then to the area of ​​the mudguards and the front shield, which are already load-bearing elements of the body. At the rear, approximately the same picture occurs, only in a shorter form, that is, without the participation of mounting the power unit, directly from the suspension to the car body.

VAZ 2101 body diagram

As you understand, with this type of body and the operation of its suspension, an important role in the stability and safety of the car is played by what the car frame itself is made of. It is clear that the more we strengthen weak points body, the stiffer and more stable it will be, but this is the whole point of the trick question: how much does the body of a VAZ 2101 weigh?
By strengthening the car frame, we increase its mass, thereby increasing the load on its structural parts. A vicious circle? Not at all, that’s why smart people in institutes teach such a science as strength-of-materials, after studying which design engineers rationally selected the thickness of materials, their aspect ratio and cross-section. Ultimately, all these factors helped to obtain a high-strength frame of the VAZ 2101.

1	0.7 mm – hood
2	1.0 mm – mudguards
3	1.0 mm – front panel
4	0.9 mm – floor front
5	0.9 mm – roof
6	0.9 mm – floor, back
7	0.7 mm – trunk
8	0.7 mm – rear tail
9	0.7 mm – door panels outside
10	0.9 mm – thresholds
11	0.9 mm – front “tail”

To save weight and reduce costs, non-load-bearing parts (luggage compartment lids and engine compartment) are made of thinner metal. The thickness of the steel sheets from which the most important elements for the strength of the body are composed is about one millimeter, which is no less (one might even say more) than that of other modern cars of a similar class.

The front and rear “tail” of the “penny” are welded to the body, which allowed them to be included on equal terms in the supporting structure of the car, which also contributed to reducing its weight, which is 955 kilograms.

But this is its total weight; the following layout will help us find out how much the body of the VAZ 2101 weighs:

• 140 kilograms - the weight of the power unit with attachments;
• 26 kilograms – gearbox;
• 10 kilograms – cardan shaft;
• 52 kilograms – rear axle;
• 7 kilograms – radiator;
• 280 kilograms is the actual weight of the VAZ 2101 body.

It's not a particularly impressive number. And if we multiply it by all the cars produced over all the years of production (from 1970 to 1988) in the amount of 4.85 million? Agree, every gram saved plays a significant role here!

But it's not that simple. The durability of the body does not lie in the thickness of the metal sheet from which it is made, it depends on how well the anti-corrosion protection was carried out at the manufacturer (in our case, by the owner himself).

As a rule, after welding operations, before the paint booth, the VAZ 2101 body was subjected to phosphatization, during which its entire surface was exposed to a chemically resistant phosphate film. In addition to this, the result was secured with a layer of primer applied using electrophoresis, which allowed the primer layer to create an even coating in the most difficult to reach areas. The bottom of the car, in turn, was covered with a layer of special durable mastic, which reliably protected it from the effects of an aggressive external environment.

All of the above in the coupe contributed to the fact that the VAZ 2101 became popular not only in its time, but confidently “holds the brand” of a reliable hard worker to this day.

By the way, the “penny” was one of the first cars of the famous Formula 1 pilot Kimi Raikkonen, whose father was extremely attached to it for its unpretentiousness and reliability.
