Technical and design tuning of the UAZ-3303 tadpole truck

Transformation of a “loaf” into a “tadpole”

Refinement of a personal car, its cabin and power units, during which the factory characteristics are improved, is called tuning. What does this give?

1. Engine power and efficiency increases.
2. Ensures brake reliability.
3. The pendants are strengthened.
4. The cabin becomes comfortable for the driver and passengers.

A good vehicle platform at an affordable price creates the opportunity to experiment, improving the vehicle’s cross-country ability and strengthening its driving performance. The UAZ 3303 “tadpole” (as it is popularly called for its unique shape) is easy to tune.

You can improve the UAZ 3303 with your own hands. Tuning is very easy to do in your own garage. Of course, you need some knowledge about the design of the car. You can tune the chassis, appearance and, if you wish, improve the interior of the UAZ 3303.

How to perform body restoration?

We will pay special attention to how to restore the body. Recommendations for carrying out this work are as follows:. 1.First you need to dismantle all body elements

It is under them that rust and other defects can hide. Dismantling work will not require a lot of free time

1.First you need to dismantle all body elements. It is under them that rust and other defects can hide. Dismantling work will not require a lot of free time.

2.The next step is to clean the paintwork. Please note that if individual areas are damaged and restored, the entire body will have to be repainted. Cleaning paintwork can be done using a variety of tools and special chemicals. The effectiveness of further work depends on how well the surface is cleaned.

3.Next, the work of trimming the areas affected by corrosion is carried out: some will have to be cut out, others will simply be welded - it all depends on the degree of damage

You need to pay attention to where the metal will be cut: some body elements must withstand the load and should not be modified

Designer tuning

External modernization of a car is carried out in order to distinguish it from the general monotony, make it visible and catchy, and attract the attention of others. Correct tuning allows you not only to visually improve the appearance of the car, but also to make it more comfortable and functional.

Irrational modernization leads to accelerated wear of components and mechanisms, reducing the service life of the vehicle.

Interior trim

As for the UAZ-3303, tuning the cabin is an almost unlimited field of activity. You should start from the outside.

You can do the following:

• install tinted windows, equip doors with electric lifts;
• restore old optics by inserting new LED lamps into them;
• trim with plastic fairings;
• paint it in a color that matches the purpose of the machine;
• make stylish footrests.

Interior upgrade options:

• safe and multifunctional dashboard;
• ergonomic steering wheel with adjustable column;
• climate control system;
• chairs with air suspension, armrests and position regulators;
• on-board computer with navigator;
• covering surfaces with sound and heat insulating materials;
• light plastic furniture with sliding doors.

Thanks to domestic engineers

Domestic engineers designed the car in such a way that the owner has a wide range of actions that can be carried out in the UAZ 3303 car. Do-it-yourself tuning is completely easy to do even in your garage. But you still need to know certain structural features of this car. You have the opportunity to tune the chassis, appearance, and also add comfort to the interior of your UAZ 3303. Tuning the cabin will consist of modernizing and strengthening the body, so after improvement the car can safely be called an SUV. As a rule, modernization also concerns the wheelbase. which is most often tuned, has wide-profile off-road tires and a power body kit. But everything is in order.

UAZ 3303

, popularly called " tadpole"

“for its characteristic appearance, childish swelling of the “face” and naively wide-open “eyes” - a labor car, a worker.
Designed to transport one thousand three hundred kilograms of cargo, the UAZ “tadpole”
can cope with heavy loads.
Unpretentious in terms of road quality, the UAZ cargo truck
is often used to deliver supplies to hunting lodges and fishing huts.

The shock absorbers are faulty, what causes faulty shock absorbers

Faulty shock absorbers have an extremely negative impact on both safety and comfort, as well as on the general wear and tear of other elements of the car. Let's take a closer look at what faulty car shock absorbers lead to:

• The braking distance of the car increases significantly. So, for example, when a car is moving at a speed of 80 km/h, with ABS the braking distance increases by 6-10 meters, without ABS by 4-5 meters.
• The car does not take turns well. It begins to roll and maintains its trajectory extremely poorly;
• Any even insignificant bump leads to shaking and long swaying of the car;
• When driving on a wet surface, the hydroplaning effect occurs 10-20 km earlier;
• The load on all elements of the vehicle's suspension increases significantly;
• The wear of car tires increases significantly;
• The car's grip on the road surface decreases;
• The noise level generated by the car when driving increases.

Designer tuning

External modernization of a car is carried out in order to distinguish it from the general monotony, make it visible and catchy, and attract the attention of others. Correct tuning allows you not only to visually improve the appearance of the car, but also to make it more comfortable and functional.

Irrational modernization leads to accelerated wear of components and mechanisms, reducing the service life of the vehicle.

Interior trim

As for the UAZ-3303, tuning the cabin is an almost unlimited field of activity. You should start from the outside.

You can do the following:

• install tinted windows, equip doors with electric lifts;
• restore old optics by inserting new LED lamps into them;
• trim with plastic fairings;
• paint it in a color that matches the purpose of the machine;
• make stylish footrests.

Interior upgrade options:

• safe and multifunctional dashboard;
• ergonomic steering wheel with adjustable column;
• climate control system;
• chairs with air suspension, armrests and position regulators;
• on-board computer with navigator;
• covering surfaces with sound and heat insulating materials;
• light plastic furniture with sliding doors.

A removable console can be installed on the engine compartment cover.

Bumper

The best option for modifying the bumper is to install a powerful steel grille. This product will give your car a new look and protect the radiator from stones and branches. In addition, the thick tubes provide a good base for the exterior main and fog lights. The rear bumper is being upgraded to a monolithic structure that serves as a step for lifting into the body.

If the bumper is not expected to come into contact with obstacles, then it can be covered with foam plastic and covered on top with fiberglass cloth impregnated with epoxy glue.

Body

Restoring the body of a UAZ-3303 is simple: you need to remove the worn out boards and lay down a new covering. The optimal modification option is to install a lightweight frame booth with panoramic glazing. Inside there are soft sofas that transform into sleeping places. It is advisable to equip the body with an independent heater, refrigerator and cooking appliances.

Preparing the body for use in harsh conditions

In addition to the above work, it is also possible to carry out work on changing the body. Tuning can be as follows:

• The work involves the restoration of the structure. Quite often, in order to give the car the proper appearance, the body and other structural elements must be restored.
• Some changes can be made, mounts for additional body kit can be created.
• Carrying out painting work.

The car in question has been out of production for many years. Therefore, there are practically no offers in good condition on sale. Repair work to restore the body is inevitable.

Content

In the USSR, quite a large number of vehicles were produced, designed for transporting goods in areas with poor traffic. An example is the UAZ 3303, which was produced from 1966 to 1985. Despite the fact that the production of the model was completed several decades ago, the car is still in active use. In order to give a second life to this car, you can tune the UAZ 3303 with your own hands. In this material we will consider the work related to increasing the cross-country ability of a vehicle.

Make your brakes reliable

For such roads it is important to have a reliable chassis

The UAZ 3303 requires tuning of the chassis to ensure safety when driving. Install disc brake systems that promote uniform wear of the pads and increase the braking effect. Strengthen the frame using a subframe and a special reinforcement. For convenience, prepare sound insulation and re-sheath the interior from the inside.

If you are not satisfied with the factory seats, an alternative is offered - “Ford Escort”, you just need to modify them slightly. Cut off all the parts, leaving the soft part and the iron structure that holds it. The photos clearly demonstrate the need for tuning the car.

2 corners are welded to the seats below. Drill holes in them to bolt the pieces to the interior floor. Now your ride will be soft and comfortable. You can leave the factory seat trim or add additional lumbar support to the seats. If you want to turn the steering wheel and not strain your hands, install a hydraulic booster; it is recommended to choose ZF. Even painting and installing wheels with alloy discs will change the appearance of the UAZ 3303 for the better.

Change the bumpers to reinforced ones. If you are not able to do this work yourself, buy RIF from the store. They are developed specifically for the UAZ. The power threshold will preserve the integrity of the cabin for a long time, and the crankcase will protect the engine. Many rural residents still want to buy a UAZ 3303 flatbed due to its performance characteristics. This model is the most reliable. This is what most off-road enthusiasts prefer.

The tuning of the UAZ 3303 does not end with these works. Protect the fuel tank, tie rods, and engine compartment. The cabin mount can be equipped with a cage. The safety bar design will work. if the car hits a tree or other obstacle. It is advisable to install an ELMO clutch; it is especially in demand when constantly driving on asphalt. Exit the engine air intake to the roof

This is very important when you have to cross small bodies of water and roads with impassable mud.

Placing spotlights above the cabin is useful at night. At the last stage, a trunk is installed on the UAZ 3303, which is a certain decoration. It is indispensable when transporting bulky items. Improve the instrument panel and install a stove.

Winch installation

Now let's move on to the winch. On off-road terrain, situations often arise in which you will have to get out of trouble on your own. When you are stuck in the mud and there is not a single soul around, the winch will become your savior. In addition, you will have the opportunity to help your comrades on the road. On the UAZ 3303 you can install both electric and electric. The difference between these types is significant, because the latter is more reliable, and it is preferred by most off-road enthusiasts. The advantage of hydraulics is that they are more powerful and are powered by a motor that builds up pressure. Its electric competitor operates through a battery, which shortens the battery's lifespan.

To strengthen the cabin, a kenguryatnik is installed. This protective arc will serve you when the machine comes into contact with trees and other obstacles, and the placement of spotlights above the cab will come in handy at night. You can also tune the interior: make it soundproof and install more comfortable seats. If you cannot do without music, then you will need to contact a company that installs car audio in the UAZ 3303. The tuning photos look great. With the right approach, you can simply make a “candy” out of our domestic car, because even the most expensive SUV can envy the cross-country ability of this car.

Trucks based on 3303

DIY dump truck UAZ-3303

UAZ-3303 is a small truck with good all-terrain qualities due to the presence of all-wheel drive. It has a frame structure, with a cabin installed on it, under which the engine is located, and two boxes - a transfer case and a gearbox. Behind the cabin there is a cargo hog platform that allows you to transport up to 1200 kg of payload.

This vehicle has become quite popular in agriculture, but its owners complain about the lack of equipment for dump unloading, since the manufacturer of this vehicle does not equip it with such equipment. Owners often do not agree with this decision of the plant and remake the UAZ-3303 with their own hands, creating a dump truck on its basis.

Those owners who have converted their cars indicate a significant increase in functionality and a decrease in the time for unloading the body from cargo. At the same time, the carrying capacity of the car itself does not decrease, since it is not very high anyway. But the installed lifting equipment makes the driver’s life easier, especially if the car is used to transport work loads.

But there are also some disadvantages. Of these, we can note some financial difficulties in purchasing components for a dump truck, as well as possible problems with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, since home-made vehicle conversion is prohibited. Otherwise, the equipment for lifting the body of the UAZ-3303 has only positive aspects.

There are several options for making a dump truck out of a UAZ-3303. The simplest solution is to lay a square beam under the front side and attach a long cable to it, which is laid along the entire length of the body. Unloading is very simple: the side of the car is opened, the cable is pulled out and attached to something reliable (tree, pole, etc.). Then the car starts up and begins to move forward, while the beam moving along the body pulls the load. But this method is not always practical.

A more radical solution is to install hydraulic equipment. Moreover, some private companies are now offering a set of components for converting the UAZ-3303 into a dump truck. We will look at homemade car recycling.

Gazelle Next. Price: from 1,280,200 rub. On sale: from 2022

Yes, this orange van, according to the GAZ color classification, is called “red gold”. Well, that sounds impressive. Although, to be honest, “golden tangerine” or “ripe orange” would be more suitable for a commercial truck. Well, okay, marketers know better how to attract a potential buyer. What if you put aside the color and look at this delivery van purely from a practical point of view? So, we are aspiring businessmen, and we are choosing a workhorse. Moreover, our business, although successful, is not yet so successful that we can afford a hired driver. That is, in fact, we choose a car for ourselves. Eh, someone will be lucky who will then get a job as a hired driver for this van...

The driver's seat has many adjustments

However, before you indulge in savoring the options, and, as it turned out later, there are many of them, it’s worth paying attention to the basic things. And the first thing that really worries you when you look at the van is the oiled seams on the mating parts of the body

What is this, why, why?! Frankly, I have never seen such innovative ideas on any other van (imported). Why such reinsurance if the car body already consists of 68 galvanized and 16 plastic parts? However, if they think that this will only extend the life of the body, we are not against it. Moreover, according to experts, such a van will pay for itself only after two years of operation, and it will only be a plus if after this time it still looks just as cheerful. So let’s not bother too much with these “marker” strokes - technologists, as you know, have their own vision of beauty.

But what is really worth thinking about is that, no matter how spacious the cargo compartment is, and in our case it is the largest and amounts to 13.5 cubic meters of volume (this is the highest roof and the longest wheelbase), still There is one question: how to secure the load? No, we are not talking about cargo on pallets that will be transported into the compartment using forklifts, there are no questions here. A set of rigging eyes on the floor will allow you to secure it easily. We are talking about not very heavy objects that may need to be attached to the walls. How, for example, can you secure a refrigerator or chest of drawers so that they do not fly around the body during delivery to the consumer? After all, not everyone will be engaged in delivering exclusively bags of flour. Someone will decide to carry something more elegant, and even fragile. There is no way to attach something like that to the wall. Most likely, businessmen will have to invent something themselves to solve this problem. But thank you very much for the opening hatch between the passenger compartment and the cargo compartment in the area of ​​the passengers’ feet. If anything, you can push through any lengthy items without any problems. And for the shelf above the cabin, which can withstand a load of up to 30 kg, special thanks. It won’t be difficult to place personal belongings there. Now, if only some kind of fencing had been provided... But in the cargo compartment you can stand upright quite calmly. Yes, and you can enter and exit through any of the doors without fear and rest your head on the lintel. It is also worth noting that the floor of the cargo compartment is lined with 9 mm plywood, which not only protects the metal from abrasion, but also prevents shoes from slipping in the winter season. In general, despite all the apparent shortcomings, the cubic capacity was impressive. Of course, you will have to fake something, adjust something to your needs, but, in general, it is quite suitable for business.

Photos of tuning UAZ-3303 Tadpole

Having gone through these main stages, you can try to conquer off-road terrain. And if you have enough money, you can, for example, replace the gasoline engine with a diesel engine, which has a high torque, which is necessary for driving in difficult road conditions. In addition, it is also worth increasing the strength of the body by installing a power body kit.

High-quality and well-thought-out tuning of the UAZ-3303 allows you to transform working and unpresentable equipment into a luxurious and comfortable wheeled all-terrain vehicle that is not inferior to expensive foreign analogues. The Tadpole, as it is popularly called, has a solid foundation and a spacious enough body and cabin to accommodate many useful options. Making changes will increase the functionality, maneuverability and reliability of a small flatbed truck, making it comfortable and representative.

Recommendations from experts

Maksim. If you need a truck to transport various cargoes, then you can consider upgrading the UAZ 3303. It is small, has high cross-country ability, and the body is suitable for transporting small-sized cargo. Buy a Ukrainian diploma on the website https://kypit-diplom-vuza.com.ua/ buy a diploma without prepayment However, this car is significantly inferior to modern ones technically. Therefore, you can’t do without tuning.

Vitaly In a suburban area, a truck is practically irreplaceable. However, not everyone can afford to buy another truck. Therefore, the problem can be solved by tuning the UAZ 3303. After minor upgrades, the car will become suitable for transporting various cargoes.

Repair and replacement

As a rule, the body of this car is more often repaired than replaced. Moreover, in modern conditions it is extremely difficult to carry out a correct replacement, it is recommended to learn how to carry out repairs.

The first thing you need to remember when repairing the UAZ 3303 is to remove the cab. There may be quite a few cracks on the frame underneath - the result of merciless use on broken roads.

• Be sure to change the threshold, which easily rusts over time. It is recommended to cover all cracks that cannot be repaired with a special compound;
• Carefully diagnose doors and openings. Replace the seals, being sure to straighten the edges of the doorway and adjust the rubber in place. The locks will also have to be adjusted, cutting off unnecessary touches of the doors with a grinder;
• Problem areas of the body must first be straightened, then treated with putty and painted;
• Whether to change the upholstery or not will depend on taste and financial capabilities. As a rule, 5 thousand rubles is enough to replace the upholstery with new one;
• The chassis is being repaired. It is recommended to go through all the cuffs, pump out the air from the brake system, change the bearings, rebuild the clutch - there will be a lot of things to do here;
• It is also recommended to check the engine thoroughly;
• Bumper is a must! The tuning one looks better. It's easy to replace the factory one. There are a lot of advantages: snowdrifts are not scary, traffic cops and pedestrians look at you with respect.

You need to know that the UAZ has one popular problem related to the front axle. The grenade may start knocking, and then all this will turn into control problems (if the CV joint is not changed in a timely manner).

Wooden platform

For obvious reasons, this type of body suffers the most over time. Although, on the other hand, if the owner does not take care of the metal surface in a timely manner, the body will rust.

So, the first thing that comes to mind in the process of repairing a 3303 wooden platform is ordering new wooden boards. They line the bottom of the body. It is recommended to select the dimensions of the boards as follows: 30x200 mm. The material must be dry and there must be a minimum of knots.

Removing used decking is also considered a type of repair and replacement. Before this operation, it is recommended to measure the position of the gas tank so that no problems arise in the future.

Perpendicular beams are aligned to the same height. It is advisable to treat new boards with an electric planer, and to increase body strength and minimize gaps, they need to be laid overlapping, as on new UAZs.

The platform is laid with boards from the edges. This is done so that the end board does not end up on the outermost board (it may be narrower than the rest, and fixing the edge to a narrow board is very inconvenient).

It is advisable to fix the boards with ordinary weave self-tapping screws. You need to screw 2 fasteners into each beam. To prevent the fixing bolts of the UAZ from sticking out, it is recommended to recess them.

A wooden platform must be treated with an antiseptic, although if the wood is of high quality, then even in this form the body will last for 20 years or more.

Metal platform

In this case, instructions are given on how to make a new body measuring 233x168 with your own hands.

Step-by-step algorithm of actions:

• We take the frame from GAZ-52;
• We cut the joints of the frame channels with a grinder.

• We assemble the structure for the UAZ, weld all the elements;
• We place a 20-gauge channel under the body, and then reinforce it with an 8-gauge channel;
• Be sure to also reinforce with short stiffening ribs and corners;

• Next, on the finished platform we place sides 50 cm high, made from profile;
• We weld the lateral displacement limiters;
• We weld the front clamps to the frame;
• Don’t forget to place pads for locks cut from a 3.5 mm sheet of iron.

More detailed information on body restoration can be obtained from photo materials. We also recommend reading other body repair instructions published on the website.

Disablement rules

To disable the immobilizer with your own hands, you must first disconnect the connector from the protection - so to speak, give a signal about the physical absence of the immobilizer, and then erase the data about it from the ECU flash memory. But for many, this is probably understandable in theory, but it is not at all clear how to do this in practice.

One more thing: disabling the device when done unauthorized or incorrectly results in the vehicle being locked. And that’s it - no one is going anywhere anymore, you need to “fasten your tie” or order a tow truck and send the VAZ 2110 to specialists for service.

But there is a way out! Even two exit options. 1. Cutting wires. It is done like this:

• we look for the immobilizer control unit, which is usually located approximately at the level of the radio behind the center console;
• feel with your hand and remove the connector from the block;
• it turns out that this connector contains many contacts, twenty to be exact;
• It is necessary to first count the ninth, then the eighteenth wire from the connector and cut them off. Then - connect together and insulate; Closed wires 9 and 18 in the connector
• Having removed the immobilizer, you should restore the line along which the diagnostics are carried out. To do this, you need to install a jumper that restores communication between the ECU and the diagnostic block. By cutting the wires and then connecting them, we thereby restore the K-line. Then the connector must be inserted into its rightful place.

2. Do-it-yourself flashing (reprogramming). It will cost less than replacing the VAZ 2110 control unit. Necessary equipment:

• computer;
• soldering iron;
• PAK-loader programmer.

Then you need to do the following:

• remove and disassemble the ECU;
• we find the controller connector, connect the PAK bootloader to it, read the factory firmware (its extension BIN);
• We also read it through the EEPROM connector;
• save the read factory firmware on the computer;
• We upload clean EEPROM into the ECU through the connector;
• We disconnect the bootloader, assemble the controller, and install it in place.

If we are dealing with Bosch M1.5.4, we need to open it, and then we can independently, with our own hands, install the chip we prepared with the ECU in place of the standard one. Then turn on the ignition for just a couple of seconds. If the problem was in the program, then after installing the chip the engine will start.

If the ROM is soldered into the car unit, you will have to either unsolder it and perform chip tuning, or use the special COMBISET program with the function of cleaning the EEPROM through the connector without resoldering the chip.

ROM in the immobilizer unit

In addition, for the VAZ 2110 you can purchase special plugs suitable for the APS connector. They restore connections between the diagnostic block and the ECU.

Combiloader software version is available (2.1.8). With its help, in addition to the usual cleaning of the EEPROM, you can erase the EEPROM without deleting the immobilizer data. That is, if you cleared the EEPROM and the engine started, you can try connecting the immobilizer again. But for normal operation, you must repeat the “training” again using the red key.

Interior decoration

Cabin tuning is an unlimited field of activity where you can realize any ideas. Inspired by photos from the Internet, let's get started:

1. Get rid of the old upholstery and also remove the mirrors.
2. Select the material and take measurements.
3. Upholstery the interior with your chosen fabric. Please learn that soft material should be laid between the fabric and the roof of the UAZ - for example, padding polyester.
4. Select the shape of the seats and adjust them by trimming the edges (if the seats are not spacious enough).
5. Weld small corners with holes to the seats.
6. Screw the chairs into the floor using bolts.

By moving the seats forward, you can sit back in them. Accordingly, there will be less stress on your arms and back.

You can also improve the dashboard by replacing the film or installing power steering. This hydraulic system will make driving easier as it makes the steering wheel easier to turn.

UMZ-414

The motor was installed on the UAZ 3303 car in the period from 85 to 89. The power of the power plant is up to 90 horses. The unit works in tandem with a carburetor. The product performs four strokes, with chambers “in a row” and top valves. The frame of the UMZ-414 is rigid, with a bracket for the front end of the shaft seal, as well as with an external front oil seal. The unit is equipped with an inlet pipe, a modernized head and inlet and outlet channels. A productive pump is used, and the pan is purged in a closed cycle. The power plant mechanisms are reliable and not subject to increased wear.

Tank tuning

This item includes protection for the tank, steering wheel and motor. This type of tuning proceeds as follows:

• First you need to strengthen the cabin. This is done using a shockproof frame;
• Next, you should move the air intake from the engine compartment to the roof of the UAZ 3303;
• it is necessary to install a roof rack;
• For protection, the steering wheel can be covered with a casing or any upholstery that you like.

Thus, with some ingenuity and diligence, you can turn the 3303 truck into a more advanced version of an SUV. If something doesn’t work out for you, you can always contact any auto repair shop, where leading specialists will help you.

UMZ-417

In an effort to modernize the parameters, in the eighties the power plant on the truck was replaced with an improved version, UMZ-417. The engine head has been improved and the camshaft has been made cast iron. The unit used a carburetor with two chambers, an electric meter (K-151V) and an improved intake manifold. Thus, the engine performance has increased, and the vehicle’s carrying capacity has also increased to 1225 kg. Externally, “414” and “417” engines are similar. In “417” the head is equipped with a cast iron shaft, intake valves with a large cross-section (47 versus 44 mm on the UMZ-414 unit). In addition, the “417” model with its original intake, increased pressure ratio - 7, as a result, a power of 92 horses.

What can be done to a car to ensure cross-country ability?

To increase the vehicle's cross-country ability, wheels of larger width and diameter should be installed. According to the recommendations of experts, the maximum diameter should not exceed 24 inches, as otherwise the car’s stability on the road will be lost. You can replace wheels as follows:

First, the car is lifted to provide access to the chassis.

Particular attention should be paid to securing the vehicle to ensure the safety of the work being carried out. The next step is to trim the wings. In order to install tires with a larger tread and diameter, the space under the wheel arches will have to be increased. It is also necessary to replace standard bridges with Barsovsky ones, which have a larger width. You can also increase cross-country ability by replacing the differential.

By installing a more advanced design, you can achieve an effect in which the wheels will not slip in almost any weather conditions. In addition, by increasing the efficiency of this element, the service life of the transmission is significantly increased. You can replace the springs on the rear axle and the shock absorbers at the front. It is worth considering that the original springs are relatively short in length. Due to this, the load-carrying capacity and shock-absorbing qualities are significantly reduced. Original shock absorbers will not last long, and they have poorer performance. Therefore, it is recommended to install imported ones. Increasing ground clearance has a negative impact on vehicle stability. That is why it is necessary to provide for the installation of additional elements in the form of stabilizers. They are installed on the sides and allow you to maintain the required balance when entering a turn. An electric winch is installed, which will allow you to get out of difficult areas. In addition, you should install a more powerful battery, which will allow you to start the car even in severe frost. Other wheels and tires will also be required. By installing wheels of larger diameter, ground clearance increases significantly. However, to do this you will have to slightly change the wheel arches, cutting them to the desired level. As the ground clearance increases, the car's cornering stability is lost. As a result, when entering a turn at high speed, there is a high probability of capsizing. To increase cross-country ability, additional stabilization elements are installed. The body can also be upgraded. A common method of changing the design is to install a system that will raise the body to unload cargo. Of course, this will require installing a hydraulic system.

The above work will significantly increase the vehicle's cross-country ability.

Model description

The plant in Ulyanovsk began production of the “3303” model in 1985, immediately after the termination of assembly of the UAZ-452D. The elements of the car are installed on a frame assembled by welding; the construction material is steel. Considering that most owners often overloaded the car, there were complaints about the frame. The designers repeatedly modernized the product until they brought it to its logical conclusion, increasing the element in the required places.

The idea of ​​​​creating a car, a small car with a simple design, capable of driving anywhere, regardless of weather conditions and terrain. In this product, simplicity begins with the cab and ends with the bridge. The UAZ 3303 cabin is made of metal, installed above the engine, which stands along the axis of the car. Since the engine is inside, the product can be serviced in the field, in rain and snow. Access to the unit is easy, in addition, two removable seats add space for maneuver. The steering wheel is a worm type, not adjustable, but conveniently placed.

The operating process of the unit is simple, the overview allows the user to monitor the road and the situation when moving along ditches. The control levers switch easily; the box rods require periodic monitoring and adjustment. The size of the body on the UAZ 3303 is sufficient to transport most of the cargo in demand. The cargo compartment is wooden, equipped with an awning and arches, and folding sides. The front and rear suspension of the car is dependent, with springs.

How to perform body restoration?

We will pay special attention to how to restore the body. Recommendations for carrying out this work are as follows:. 1.First you need to dismantle all body elements

It is under them that rust and other defects can hide. Dismantling work will not require a lot of free time

1.First you need to dismantle all body elements. It is under them that rust and other defects can hide. Dismantling work will not require a lot of free time.

2.The next step is to clean the paintwork. Please note that if individual areas are damaged and restored, the entire body will have to be repainted. Cleaning paintwork can be done using a variety of tools and special chemicals. The effectiveness of further work depends on how well the surface is cleaned.

3.Next, the work of trimming the areas affected by corrosion is carried out: some will have to be cut out, others will simply be welded - it all depends on the degree of damage

You need to pay attention to where the metal will be cut: some body elements must withstand the load and should not be modified

4.After trimming the affected areas, work is done to prepare the body for further cooking. To do this, the edges are cleaned and burrs are removed.

5. To carry out welding work, you need a special welding machine, as well as experience in carrying out such work. The formation of large seams should be avoided, which will then be difficult to hide with paintwork.

6.After welding the formed holes, the seams should be cleaned. It is also necessary to degrease the surface in order to provide the best conditions for laying the primer layer.

7. Particular attention is paid to preparing the body for painting work. According to all the rules, paint application must take place in a closed box in order to prevent the entry of various debris

8. Before applying the paint and varnish coating, the surface is leveled with a primer. It gives the body a streamlined and even shape.

Important! The paint is applied in two layers, which allows you to achieve the best result. In this case, the first layer is applied first, after it has completely dried, the second

To apply paint, special spray guns are used; only when using them can the paint be applied in an even layer.

Tank tuning

The fuel tank is poorly protected from external influences, so you can puncture it or lose it completely if you accidentally get into thick mud or stones. To avoid this:

1. We transfer the reservoir to the space between the cargo compartment or to the body.
2. We replace the standard fasteners with steel holders.

To protect the tank, engine, and steering wheel:

1. After strengthening the cabin with a shockproof frame, we place the air intake on the roof (initially it is located in the engine compartment).
2. We install the rack on the roof.
3. To protect the steering wheel, we use upholstery - for example, we put on a cover (price from 500-1000 rubles).

The above changes to the fuel system are simple and do not require approval from the traffic police. But, as mentioned above, it is better for drivers who are unsure of their abilities to contact a salon so as not to damage the system elements when independently replacing components or improving them.
