tuningblog.eu Your magazine about tuning the car
Hard to believe, but this vehicle is originally a Volga GAZ-21. A car that was basically built with four doors, never had such a powerful bonnet and especially at the rear had a completely different shape with a typical notchback design. But all that has changed and now there is a breathtaking unique piece with typical modern Restomod-Ingredients. The vehicle was built by the Russian company "Auto Atelier" in an incredible number of hours of work. The tuner made the rear doors disappear and installed a longer version at the front, there was a bonnet in the style of the 1949 Mecury and the wheel arches at the rear were created based on a Mercury Club Coupe.
something Mercury, GAZ-21 and GAZ-12
On the other hand, it looks completely different at the rear. Here you have used a GAZ-12 ZIM that was manufactured in the 50s and completes the body mix. The apron at the rear was reduced to the essentials, there were the small round taillights of the GAZ-12 (with LED technology) but the tailgate is complete with its flat design custom, At the front, the typical GAZ-21 grille was completely painted in the vehicle color and the apron was firmly integrated into the body. The lighting is provided by a set of dark LED headlights and something has also changed under the hood. From now on, a 4,5-liter Toyota 1FZ-FE engine from the Land Cruiser, which includes an automatic transmission, is working here.
Airride, chrome rims and metallic paint
As a further highlight, the Volga was given an Airride air suspension and the visual highlight is definitely the classic multi-spoke chrome rims in the wheel arches, which can be admired in their full splendor at least on the front axle. And then there is the beautiful interior of the GAZ-21. The cabin is essentially determined by the metallic red paint on the outside of the body and there were also newly upholstered black leather seats at the front and rear, a classic 3-spoke sports steering wheel with wooden rim, lots of chrome and even a new center console with various switches and displays , Only in the footwell you are apparently not completely finished, because especially the accelerator you take with you should quickly be replaced by a high-quality one Aluminum pedals be replaced.
the Russians can build lowriders
Incidentally, the renovation started two years ago, but the many hours of work were definitely worth it. Car atelier has put an incredible GAZ-21 on its feet, which makes it suitable for everyday use, especially with modern technology. In addition, it shows impressively that a Lowrider does not necessarily have to come from the USA, but a Russian base can also be perfectly suitable.
