The first car of the series was released in 1997, then the production of cars of this brand continued for eight years. The brand's car is still relevant today, tuning the GAZ 3110 is in great demand among owners of cars of the series.

Body

The most problematic part of the 3110 is the body and its elements, which quickly rust and often need timely restyling. Car owners first of all begin to fight against corrosion by carrying out deep tuning of the body, including disassembling and removing key parts and assemblies from the body. Its weakest elements are the side members, as well as the sills, which are the ones that people pay attention to first of all; in addition to them, the rear part and wings of the car rust; these parts are changed if necessary. The body shell must be completely cleaned, primed and washed, and it should be taken into account that the preparatory work is considered the most labor-intensive. After painting, full type sound insulation is installed on the body. The list of noise insulation procedures includes treating the bottom of the car with a special material, for example, bitumen-based vibroplast. On the inside, both surfaces of the doors are covered with the so-called “Shumka”; the trunk is also additionally treated, especially if a subwoofer is installed in the car.

Creating a convertible from the Volga for a summer trip: the preparatory stage

Many people dream of their own convertible, in which they can have fun during the warmer months of the year. As practice shows, with the onset of cold weather, a car in this body becomes less suitable, since in most cases it is a coupe, and operation in winter causes a large number of malfunctions.

Not everyone can afford to buy cars for every season, given the prevailing prices for all convertibles. There is a solution - for infrequent trips, you can buy a GAZ-24 and make a real convertible out of this model. The features of such tuning include the following points:

First, you will have to carry out dismantling work: the rotten elements of the exterior, almost the entire interior, wheels and much more have reached our age in simply very poor condition. Therefore, the first stage of work is to dismantle everything unnecessary, as well as determine the condition of the body.
The technical part of the car is also significantly outdated: from the engine to the suspension. In terms of tuning the technical part, there are various options: modifying already installed units, installing new or different ones. Of course, the installed engine, whose power does not reach 70 horsepower, will not allow you to move comfortably even in a small city, where the speed limit is 60 km/h. But for a convertible, it’s not speed that’s important, but smoothness. Therefore, significantly improving or restoring the technical part of a car is a rather complicated question; the solution depends on the amount of available funds and time.
The interior of a convertible is like its exterior - everything will be visible, which means it should be of high quality and attractive. Therefore, the interior is usually completely redesigned.
The roof can create many problems - cutting it off is easy, but making the A-pillars with the windshield correct and neat is not so easy. Therefore, before carrying out work, you should decide which method of creating the A-pillars with windshield will be used.

Important! As for the folding roof in case of sudden rain, everything is complicated. There is a lot of space in the back of the car, the trunk is spacious, but do not forget about the impressive size of the interior. Therefore, we can only talk about a soft roof, which will be installed manually.

External tuning

To make the car attract attention, it is enough to carry out high-quality external tuning by adding or changing some elements. For this purpose:

install bumpers of non-standard volume;
change the side rear view mirrors; as an example, you can consider electric options with heating and regulation;
they install cast or forged wheel rims instead of standard steel counterparts; wheels with a different radius are also considered as an option;
tint the windows, remembering that for windshields and front windows the light transmittance must be at least 70-75%;
they strengthen the wing or spoiler on the trunk lid, or aerodynamic body kits, which use plastic sills.

Additionally, you can stick on side moldings, change the radiator grille and make the optics more advanced. A chrome nozzle is placed on the exhaust pipe at the rear, which is intended not only for beauty, but also to suppress noise.

Engine compartment

Many engine variations were installed on the GAZ-2410 car. Even a diesel version of the car was presented for export. The GAZ-2410 engine is a ZMZ-402, a modified engine from the old Volga GAZ-21. The pump of this engine was installed directly on the head, and the coolant flowed through a stainless tube into the jacket. Engine cooling had to be uniform; for this purpose, the cross-section of the front channels was shortened, and the rear channels were left with the same dimensions.

In the engine compartment it is impossible to find any plastics, servos, power steering, even the radiator grille is made of pressed iron. Non-contact ignition was installed, which was considered an innovation at that time. In general, the ZMZ-402 was a reliable engine designed for a quiet ride. The low efficiency of this engine lies in the engine volume of 2.4 liters, which produces only 95 liters. With. Compared to modern cars, this is simply irrational.

Internal tuning

In addition to external improvements, it is advisable to carry out internal tuning of the GAZ 3110 interior. The interior can be improved in various ways, starting from replacing the seats or upholstering them with a different material. In addition to the seats, the interior can be supplemented with other details, the list of which includes:

steering wheel braid made of material that matches the quality of the seats;
dashboard trim with lacquered wood inserts;
installation of decorative dials for instruments, complemented by lighting;
installation of an expensive audio system, this could be a modern car radio, complemented by powerful speakers.

As an addition, decorative plastic sills with the inscription “Volga” are attached to the lower edges of the body doors. In addition, curtains can be installed on the rear and side windows for additional window protection.

Refinement of headlights

Since the GAZ 3110 is equipped with standard rectangular headlights, which are difficult to replace, a good alternative would be to install so-called cilia - elements that give the headlights a more impressive rounded shape. During the day, they can change the appearance of the car, especially if you combine them with LEDs that are installed inside. They can be applied to the headlights by purchasing ready-made elements, or you can make them yourself. In the second case, you will need to purchase fiberglass, food-grade film, polyester resin, primer, putty, paint, varnishes and other materials.

Before dismantling the light elements, make a mock-up of the eyelash and apply it to the headlight. The shape of the plastic element can be any, it depends on the preferences of the car owner. A correctly glued eyelash should extend onto the surface of the headlight and turn signal repeater. Often craftsmen prefer to glue a film onto the dashboard glass that matches the color of the car. After the dismantling procedure, the headlight is wrapped in one or two layers of cling film to prevent resin from getting on the glass surface. It is necessary to work with gloves and a well-ventilated room.

Engine block

The first step is to balance the crankshaft with the flywheel and clutch basket. This procedure cannot be performed independently, so you will have to contact a specialist.

By tuning this unit for your GAZ-24 car, you will noticeably reduce vibrations during engine operation and improve its performance.

And to increase engine capacity to 2.9 liters, it is necessary to bore the cylinder block to 100 mm. Install forged pistons (they are noticeably lighter) and select connecting rods based on weight (the smaller the mass discrepancy, the greater the balance of the system).

Light inside the cabin

Since the interior of the car must match its external style, it is important to spend time not only tuning the car, but also installing additional lighting elements. As auxiliary lighting, specialized LED strips of various colors are used, which must be connected to the interior lighting line. With the help of a factory-style dashboard, you can emphasize the individual style of the entire room. The elements are partially covered with a specialized vinyl film that imitates leather, carbon fiber, metal or wood.

The film is used to update the edging of the instrument panel, the remote control for the stove and tape recorder, as well as the steering wheel in the middle part. Additionally, they cover the strip located under the glove compartment. Tuning the instrument panel does not take much time; for this purpose, it is taken out from its installation location, the screws that hold it inside the body are unscrewed, as well as additional fastenings of the steering column along with electrical connectors and protective glass. The position of the arrows must be remembered before removing them. The panel is installed in the same way as on a car, only by removing the instrument arrows.

Body kit for GAZ 3110

Due to the body kit, the classic external design of the GAZ 3110 takes on a more sporty look; this type of tuning is considered individual, but at the same time it looks quite original. It is quite difficult to purchase factory elements for a body kit; for this reason, they are ordered for a specific car in specialized tuning workshops. This is an expensive but effective procedure that allows you to make your car unique. To reduce ground clearance, it is not always necessary to improve the suspension; for this purpose it will be enough to install universal thresholds made of overhead plastic.

In this case, parts of a simple type that extend outward, with a minimum number of bends, are suitable. By placing them, you can visually lower the car, but the same effect is achieved in situations where the lining parts on the sills have a shade similar to the body of the Volga. You can install them yourself; in some cases, modifications are required at the site for installation; for this purpose, use an angle grinder or a special construction hair dryer. Exterior styling can also include a low-height sliding trunk spoiler.

Roof folding device

In order to make a mechanism for folding the roof, knowledge of geometry, a drawing and patience are required.

Initially, you need a template according to which the production of special arcs is carried out. An awning needs to be sewn using a special pattern. The material for it is always leather, and occasionally vinyl. This awning must be pulled over the finished frame and hidden in a special place in front of the trunk section. Some craftsmen do not set out to install a roof on their Volga 2410.

Padding

At the final stage of tuning the GAZ 3110 car, you can re-tighten the door cards and car seats. For these purposes, modern knitwear, artificial suede or Alcantara, as well as perforated leather are used. You can update the door cards yourself by calculating the dimensions for future parts that need to be placed in the middle part of the door panel. During the manufacture of the part, you need to cut out the elements for insertion, taking into account all the bends along the circular part. This element is sometimes combined from several colors.

Covers are difficult to sew without specialized equipment, especially when a leather substitute is used as a covering layer. Taking into account the cut, in some areas several layers of fabric are connected, which are not so easy to stitch using an ordinary machine. Thanks to competent tuning, the GAZ 3110 can be effortlessly turned into an exclusive car that meets modern requirements and parameters. If you carry out all the procedures yourself, you can develop a unique style and modernize the machine taking into account personal preferences.

Today you won’t be surprised by the technical characteristics of the Volga. The body of the GAZ-2410 is made of durable metal. The thickness of the metal is 1.2-1.4 mm, because of this the car has a large mass. "Volga" has established itself as a reliable and durable car.

Body

The body frame must be completely cleaned, primed and washed, while it should be taken into account that the preparatory work is considered the most labor-intensive. After painting, full type sound insulation is installed on the body. The list of noise insulation procedures includes treating the bottom of the car with a special material, for example, bitumen-based vibroplast. On the inside, both surfaces of the doors are covered with the so-called “Shumka”; the trunk is also additionally treated, especially if a subwoofer is installed in the car.

Experts' opinion

Valery. Today you can find tuning of almost all VAZs. Therefore, I had to pay attention to more outdated cars; in my case, the choice fell on the GAZ 24. I liked this car even at the time when it could often be seen on the street. It has plenty of problems, but I still liked these angular shapes. The remodel took me 4 months. The exterior was not changed much; the car was made so that it could be used every day. Therefore, I was mainly involved in the technical part. There were many problems, mainly due to the fact that I had a small budget and had to collect everything I needed little by little. The result is a spacious and reliable car.

Egor. A friend has a converted Volga. It was very well done, I didn’t drive the original, but the remade one is good. Firstly, there is a spacious interior, and secondly, thanks to the new suspension, the car is stable on the road. The engine came from a Ford from the 1980s, with modifications it produced more than 200 horsepower - it was simply amazing. Of course, it’s not suitable for everyday driving, not for work, but it’s good for driving around the city.

Elena. We opened a rental car showroom for festive events. Ordinary cars are bought this way because they have to, but the converted Volga just gets a lot of attention. Probably because of the originality of this car, everyone immediately pays attention.

External tuning

To make the car attract attention, it is enough to carry out high-quality external tuning by adding or changing some elements. For this purpose:

install bumpers of non-standard volume;
change the side rear view mirrors; as an example, you can consider electric options with heating and regulation;

they strengthen the wing or spoiler on the trunk lid, or aerodynamic body kits, which use plastic sills.

We determine the volume and complexity of the upcoming work

How can I change the GAZ 2410? Over a long period of time after the end of production of this model, a simply huge number of tunings of the car in question were carried out. The most common choice is:

Creation of a convertible. On the Internet you can find quite a lot of examples of how a roomy convertible is made from the car in question. The body features determine that a car without a roof will look quite attractive and unusual. However, it is worth considering the fact that it will be very difficult to make a folding roof. Often, such a car is made as an exhibition piece or for short summer trips.
You can also carry out tuning, maintaining the original features of the car, that is, carry out restoration. With high-quality restoration and the use of modern paint application methods, the car will look very attractive and will immediately catch your eye. Even from the factory, the GAZ-24 was produced with chrome elements that attracted the attention of others. Restoring a car in retro style will require even more time and effort, since it will be extremely difficult to find suitable original parts in good condition.
Recently, it is increasingly possible to encounter a situation where the GAZ-24 is taken as the basis for recreating popular American retro cars. This is due to the fact that the Volga has a matching square-shaped body, which was used to create various Fords of the same time. Of course, the resulting result will show the features of GAZ, but everything can be changed almost beyond recognition.
You can find examples online where the exterior resembles modern racing cars. In this regard, there are practically no restrictions: low suspension with hidden wheels in the arches, massive bumpers that smoothly flow into the body, new optics, and so on.

The above information determines that there are many different ways to change the exterior of a car. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, which we will discuss in detail below.

Internal tuning

steering wheel braid made of material that matches the quality of the seats;
dashboard trim with lacquered wood inserts;
installation of decorative dials for instruments, complemented by lighting;
installation of an expensive audio system, this could be a modern car radio, complemented by powerful speakers.

Refinement of headlights

Body kit for GAZ 3110

With a claim to the old school GT

There is a lot of overkill in the details in this project; they are too prominent and do not correspond to the original appearance of the original. For example, a lip that is too low and extravagant does not at all match the narrow chrome front bumper. And modern lens head optics make the Volga look a little stupid.

But the dynamic characteristics of the car were seriously improved by installing an engine from a 2005 GAZ-31105 under the hood. In addition, the entire suspension was seriously modernized using units from BMW. The result was a low, rigid Volga in the traditions of stans culture. And wheels from Mercedes-Benz complemented the appearance of the modified specimen.
