For more than half a century, the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant has been creating cars that do not differ in high technological capabilities, but faithfully serve private owners and enterprises. At the same time, the replacement of parts is most often required only after the expiration of the development of their resource. The body that becomes unusable after many years of merciless exploitation due to banal corrosion is no exception.
The body of the domestic SUV
The main load in domestic SUVs falls on the frame, but this does not mean that insufficient attention is paid to the body. Given the operating conditions and the condition of domestic roads, the UAZ car body is reliable and increased strength. A feature of the body is its simple design, the attractiveness of which Ulyanovsk designers paid minimum attention.
Of course, the specialists managed to create a unique image of the car, but it is quite difficult to talk about its comfort. Over the years of its existence, the enterprise has produced millions of cars, and the number of modifications is more than a hundred. Nevertheless, external changes in the car have occurred very sluggish for several decades. It is thanks to this that today you can buy the UAZ body and any spare parts of even those models that have long been discontinued, and at minimal prices.
In recent years, the enterprise specialists have taken a serious step forward in the direction of the body’s comfort, and the new models look quite friendly. Let us dwell on some popular models.
Car “Bukhanka”
This type of minibus is familiar to everyone, since it first came off the assembly line in 1965. There are dozens of modifications of this model, the salon of which is equipped with a table and seats in an amount of 8 to 11.
Model-31512
This is a classic UAZ, the body of which can be covered with an awning or is a whole metal structure. The model was discontinued in 2005, but these cars will be driven by roads for more than one decade. Actually, the history of the domestic brand began with this machine. The car with a careful attitude is able to last 3-4 decades. Separate nodes, details and body require periodic replacement. The body with the tent was replaced by UAZ-31514, the roof of which was covered with metal. Note that since 2001, the designers of the plants began to use galvanizing in the processing of steel.
