Lada 2101 low classics from Russia

[Rustamov]

Hello everyone from Russia! This is my first major project that came to my workshop, the owner’s main goal was to install a rear axle from BMW e30 and put the car on the threshold, then plans changed and it was decided to make a frame, install another engine and a quick air suspension, there will be many different modifications.
My workshop is only gaining momentum and developing, doing all the work myself.
I will be glad to those who follow the project, thank you all!

New air bag mounts on lower control arms.

[cornfedbill]

Cool project. Ladas are not known in the US. But when I lived in Colombia, there were some Ladas there.

I like the E30 rear suspension idea. I had an '88 325is. It was a very good handling car.

[andrewb70]

Welcome!

Awesome project.

Andrew

[Rustamov]

Thank you very much

[Rustamov]

Remove the factory rear axle, testing the rear suspension cradle from the BMW E30.

[Rustamov]

In the process of studying the site, I have not figured out how to respond correctly to users

[69stang]

I like your thinking. Interesting project.

[Rustamov]

Replacing the frame rails with new ones, under the new suspension.

[HotWheelz]

Privet Rustamov!

Very Cool Project!

Hi thanks

[Rustamov]

Air bag mounted on the frame.

[andrewb70]

The word you are looking for is "rear end" instead of "bridge." I understand why the translator failed...it is the same word in Russian.

[Rustamov]

Thanks, can I somehow fix the description of the article?

[CarGroves]

I literally just rode in a Lada two weeks ago in cuba!

Great job on the fab work, it all looks really nice.

[raustinss]

Omg this is awesome , way back in the early 80s my parents had a lada . This is a cool dare to be different project

Translation of language can be a small issue, but in the world of cool cars we are all brothers. If a word in language seems wrong, pictures tell the story.
We all understand and appreciate nice fabrication work and the effort that goes into it.
Also appreciate seeing something a little different getting a custom treatment and like seeing pictures of tools & work areas people in different countries have to work with.
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, I liked your video, I subscribed to your channel.
In Cuba, many Russian cars that are still operated in Russia

My father owned a 1976 Lada. I grew up in Soviet Georgia.

The location of the shock absorber mounts on the levers is not allowed to make the bracket small

[Larry Callahan]

Cool project! Thanks for sharing!

[jlcustomz]

Like the shock mounts. you are basically doing the same thing where you are that people here do to the better projects which is cut the ugly out and put something nice in it's place.
Sent you a personal message with a link in it to my old project just as a sample since you are new to the site here. You will see it under notifications in the upper right corner of screen. Just another way to talk with new friends here and exchange advise and information.

[Martin71RS]

Cool! My mother had the same Lada when I was young, also red.... must be at least 35 years ago :-) ( I live in the Netherlands) keep up the good work!

The process of creating the wheel arches, the holes in the wing to access the inner arch, the wings will install new

[HotWheelz]

Fantastic and fun to watch this thread and I applaud your creativity!

I cut the old metal, I will install the new

[JJK]

Well....I guess that answers my question about whether you are going to replace the rusted rocker panels!

[Buryingthesun]

This build is great! I love the Lada's

[HotWheelz]

You are a true craftsman!

Beautiful work!

I enjoy this thread!

[Rustamov]

In the car "VAZ 2101" from the factory installed carburetor engine with a power of 71.4 hp
In our case, we have a modification with a 74.5 hp injection engine.
What is 74.5 hp ??? it sounds funny!
Our developers can not learn how to create more powerful engines. Therefore, we will remove it and in the future we will install a more powerful engine from another car.

Very cool project, I love the attention to detail. Your Fabrication skills are great, love your Lada!!!!!

Thank bro

[PonchoJohn]

At this point, why not really go crazy- convert it to a two door! Move the B-pillars back, extend the front doors by using sheetmetal from the rear doors, and use the rest of the rear doors to fill in the missing metal from wheel arches to the B-pillar.

[PonchoJohn]

Looking at it, if you moved the B-pillars back 6-8 inches, it appears that they would line up with the new bracing you installed for the rear suspension's front mounts.

We will think about it, because the wheels will be other large diameter

[Buryingthesun]

You should fit a 13b rotary into this!

[Rustamov]

After a short pause, I continue to work on the machine, I had to remove the arches and shock absorber mounts, plans to install large diameter wheels, and also plans to make a frame

[digitalsolo]

Not much left of the original, looking forward to seeing it go back together.

[jfreakofkorn]

this looks like a fun build with is awesome upgrade(s) for a vehicle like this

[Motown 454]

I just found this project today and read through the whole thing. Very nice work! The brackets for the air bags came out nice.

Oh by the way Welcome!

[lilian]

Bmw v8 engine , small enough to get in the engine compartiment, five speed, body converted to 2 door post, you will be king of the street over there !!

[ed1le]

Very cool and unique build! Keep the updates coming!

Thank you, we still think about the engine, it’s hard to find v8 in Russia at a low price

Thanks for following the project.

[Rustamov]

Hello everyone, I wanted to hear your advice on how to do it better in the luggage frame, do not want to expand along the factory side members, insert along the new side members? If anyone can draw as best, friends, thank you all! (sorry for my English)

[Motown 454]

English is fine, I wish I had an answer for you but this is way above my head. Nice work.

[zman1969]

Я вижу, что соль там и там ржавеет так же, как и здесь. ты хорошо работаешь
