Almost all modern sedan-type cars are equipped with a carrier-type body, the VAZ 2101 in this case is no exception. And what does a load-bearing body mean, you ask? This means that the steel box of the body is not only a comfortable container for passengers, driver and their luggage, but also "carries" on itself (and in itself) all the elements, components and assemblies of the car.

The body of the VAZ 2101 perceives not only the static loads of the elements attached to it, it also resists their influence during movement (in dynamics). This property of the car frame is called torsional stiffness, which is about 7300 Nm / deg.

ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also did not believe until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline!

The condition of its bottom, sills and roof, which are interconnected by the front panel, pillars of door and window openings, and the transverse panel of the luggage compartment, greatly affects this indicator of the strength and rigidity of the body of the VAZ 2101. You can see for yourself the integrity of the geometry, and therefore the general condition of your car, by taking off the dimensions of the body of the VAZ 2101 with your own hands and checking them with the data that contains the instructions for repairing the car.

What follows from the above? And the fact that body fatigue directly affects not only the control points of attachment of components and assemblies, which are shown by the body diagram of the VAZ 2101 described above, it also manifests itself in the "purity" of the geometry of its side and front openings. The distribution of loads over the body in dynamics is as follows: from the suspension elements in front, vibration and shock pass to the cross member and then to the sub-frame, after which to the area of ​​the mudguards and the front shield, which are already the load-bearing elements of the body. At the back, about the same picture occurs, only in a shorter form, that is, without the involvement of the power unit, immediately from the suspension to the car body.

Vaz 2101 body scheme

As you can imagine, with this type of body and the operation of its suspension, not the least role in the stability and safety of the car is played by what the car frame is made of. It is clear that the more we strengthen the weak points of the body, the harder and more stable it will be, but this is the whole point of the trick question: how much does the body of the VAZ 2101 weigh?
Strengthening the car frame, we increase its mass, thereby increasing the load on its structural parts. Vicious circle? This is by no means why smart people teach in institutes such a science as resistance to material, having studied which the design engineers rationally selected the thickness of the materials, their ratio of sizes and sections. Ultimately, all these factors helped to obtain a high-strength frame of the VAZ 2101 "at the output".

1 0.7 mm - hood
2 1.0 mm - mud flaps
3 1.0 mm - front panel
4 0.9 mm - front of floor
5 0.9 mm - roof
6 0.9 mm - floor, back
7 0.7 mm - trunk
8 0.7 mm - rear "empennage"
9 0.7 mm - door panels outside
10 0.9 mm - thresholds
11 0.9 mm - front "empennage"

To save weight and reduce costs, non-load bearing parts (luggage compartment lids and engine compartment lids) are made of thinner metal. The thickness of the steel sheets of which the elements, which are most important for the strength of the body, are composed, is about one millimeter, which is no less (one might say even more) than that of other modern cars of a similar class.

The front and rear "plumage" of the "penny" are welded to the body, which made it possible to introduce them on an equal footing into the load-bearing circuit of the car, which also contributed to a decrease in its weight, which is 955 kilograms.

But this is its total mass, to find out how much the body of the VAZ 2101 weighs, the following layout will help us:

  • 140 kilograms - the weight of the power unit with attachments;
  • 26 kilograms - gearbox;
  • 10 kilograms - driveshaft;
  • 52 kilograms - rear axle;
  • 7 kilograms - radiator;
  • 280 kilograms - the actual weight of the body of the VAZ 2101.

As it is not a particularly impressive figure. And if you multiply it by all cars produced for all years of production (from 1970 to 1988) in the amount of 4.85 million? Agree, here every gram saved plays a significant role!

But it's not that simple. The durability of the body is not at all in the thickness of the metal sheet from which it is made, it depends on how well the anti-corrosion protection is carried out at the manufacturer's plant (in our case, by the owner himself).

As a rule, after welding operations, in front of the spray booth, the body of the VAZ 2101 was subjected to phosphatization, during which its entire surface was subjected to a chemically resistant phosphate film. In addition to this, the result was consolidated with a layer of primer applied by electrophoresis, which allowed the primer layer to create an even coating in the most difficult to reach areas. The bottom of the car, in turn, was covered with a layer of special durable mastic, which reliably protected it from the effects of an aggressive environment.

All of the above, in the coupe, contributed to the fact that the VAZ 2101 became popular not only at one time, but confidently "keeps the brand" of a reliable hard worker to this day.

By the way, the "penny" was one of the first cars of the famous Formula 1 pilot Kimi Raikkonen, whose father was extremely attached to him for his unpretentiousness and reliability.

Short description and history

It is the VAZ 2101 that is the oldest model of the Volga Automobile Plant, with which the history of the domestic auto industry began. On April 19, 1970, the first compact car rolled off the assembly line of the plant. The model was based on the 1966 Fiat 124 model. In fact, the first "kopecks" were practically Italian cars, because the technical characteristics of the VAZ 2101 and fait 124 did not differ much from each other: a 1.2-liter engine and an entry-level interior trim. There was practically no difference between the cars.

In the future, domestic auto designers have significantly modified the design of the car for the operating conditions in our country. The ground clearance has been increased because the quality of the road surface did not always allow you to move with convenience and comfort. The body and suspension were significantly strengthened, thereby improving the technical characteristics of the VAZ 2101. Rear disc brakes from fiat were replaced with drum brakes. This was due to their durability and resistance to dust and dirt, which was always enough.

Almost everything has undergone changes, including the design of the engine. The distance between the cylinders was increased (this made it possible to bore the diameter of the cylinders), the camshaft was moved to the cylinder head. In addition to the engine, the clutch, gearbox, and rear suspension have undergone changes. As a result, the vehicle's weight has increased by 90 kg. In total, there were more than 800 changes and differences in the design of the VAZ 2101.

From 1970 to 1986, about three million VAZ 2101 cars were assembled at the plant. 19 years after the car left the assembly line, the first commercial copy took an honorable place in the AvtoVAZ museum.

Dimensions (edit)

Dimensions of two body options

Sedan, hatchback or station wagon body (Turnier): Mondeo plays the whole keyboard. In width with a value of 1931 millimeters, no differences are found between them. The picture is different in terms of length - the maximum is 4804 millimeters at Turnier, in the other two variants it is 4731 millimeters. In terms of height, each version of the model goes its own way: depending on the design of the chassis, the sedan body has a height in the range of 1420-1460 millimeters, the hatchback body, respectively, 1429-1459 millimeters and Turnier - 1441-1471 millimeters. Turnier's height increases by 40 millimeters with the roof side rail. However, there is complete agreement in the wheelbase: 2754 millimeters is a good indicator for a car of the upper middle class. In addition, Mondeo stands out for its large cabin, which can accommodate five adult passengers.

Even in the rear seats, the three mid-sized Europeans have no fear of space. In addition, Mondeo passengers can travel not only with hand luggage: in the sedan and hatchback bodies, the maximum volume, according to VDA standards, is 500 liters - including the spare wheel. Turnier already has a load capacity of 540 liters along with the spare wheel. When the rear seat is folded back, the hatchback model will enter 1,370 liters to the roof, and the Turnier will swallow even 1,700 liters.

The Volga Automobile Plant was created in the same way as GAZ in its time - the government of the USSR purchased technologies and a model range of a foreign company and instructed it to train Soviet specialists in the latest methods of work. This time the partner of the Ministry of Industry was the Italian Fiat. At the future plant in Togliatti, it was planned to produce three models: a sedan and a station wagon of the "norm" configuration, as well as a luxury sedan. The Fiat 124 was chosen as the prototype for the "norm".

Soviet specialists, assembled from different factories, began to get acquainted with the car in 1966, a whole year before the start of construction of the plant in Togliatti (and even before Fiat 124 became the "Car of the Year" in Europe). Whether they liked the car or not is unknown. Only documented remarks have come down to us: a weak body and a small clearance by the standards of the Soviet off-road; disc brakes are afraid of dirt and other claims of the same type. More than 800 changes were made together with Italian engineers, and not only to strengthen and increase survivability.

The design of the engine camshafts was replaced with a more modern one, the rear suspension was improved for better handling; the front seats were made folding into a berth, the door handles were replaced with injury-safe ones - by the way, unified with luxury (Fiat put different handles on different versions, which is less technologically advanced). The future VAZ-2101 was named Fiat 124R (from the word "Russia"). It is believed that Fiat residents were also pleased with the valuable experience of testing their models in extremely harsh conditions.

Police VAZ-2101

The VAZ-2101 became the first car in the USSR to receive a digital 4-digit designation according to the rules of a new industry document - the standard OH 025270-66. Critics of the historic decision to build a VAZ say that the odious pro-Italian project pulled away human and financial resources from other factories, which is why the good developments of the relatives of ZAZ, GAZ and AZLK, which were more suitable for the conditions of the USSR, were not implemented, and the factories themselves plunged into long stagnation. On the other hand, without the VAZ-2101, the industry would not have been able to satisfy the huge demand for passenger cars for a long time. The volume of production of cars in Togliatti several times exceeded the production of any other plant, and still there was a two-year queue for them.

"Edinichka" became the first Soviet car that could easily start up in cold weather, with normal interior heating and comfortable seats. On the highway, you could talk in the cabin without raising your voice, and drive twice the distance without getting tired. The first Soviet antifreeze, the famous A40 antifreeze, was specially developed for the new model, and an all-Soviet network of service stations was created (this was a mandatory requirement of Fiat). The Italians also transferred technologies for the production of finishing materials that did not fade in the sun. The advantage of the VAZ-2101 over other Soviet cars turned out to be so obvious that many technical solutions were quickly adopted at other factories. The entire industry of the country received an opportunity to leap forward, it remains only to use it.

The quality of workmanship has also risen to new heights and has held on for over 10 years. "Ones" of the early series drove without problems for decades without changing the oil, battery, clutch and brake pads, without showing signs of rust. Therefore, they called the car respectfully - "the first", or "unit", and the nickname "kopeck" appeared only in the 1990s. In addition, the VAZ-2101 can be considered a long-liver of the conveyor. Considering that all subsequent models of the classic family are, in fact, only its modifications, it lasted more than 40 years in production.

Repair of deformed surfaces

Deformed surfaces are repaired by mechanical or thermal action on the metal, as well as by filling dents with fast-hardening plastics or solder.

The dented plumage is straightened, as a rule, by hand using a special tool (metal, plastic, wooden hammers and various mandrels) and devices.

Heat straightening is used to shrink highly stretched panel surfaces. To prevent sudden swelling and deterioration of mechanical properties, the panels are heated to 600–650 ° C (cherry red color). The diameter of the heated spot should be no more than 20–30 mm.

Shrink the surface as follows:

- gas welding, from the periphery to the center of the defective area, heat the metal and with the blows of a wooden mallet and hammer upset the heated places using a flat support or an anvil;
- Repeat the heating and settling operations until a flat panel surface is obtained.

Irregularities in panels can be leveled with polyester fillers, thermoplastics, cold curing epoxy mastics and solder.

Polyester putties form a secure bond with panels that have been brushed to metal. They are two-component materials: unsaturated polyester resin and a hardener, which catalyzes the quick hardening of the mixture, regardless of the thickness of the putty layer. Drying time at 20 ° C - 15–20 minutes. Therefore, the duration of the putty application is reduced and there is no need to apply it in several layers.

Thermoplastic is available in powder form. Thermoplastic acquires the elastic properties required for its application to the metal surface of the panel at 150–160 ° C.

The surface to be filled must be thoroughly cleaned of rust, scale, old paint and other contaminants.

For better adhesion, it is recommended to roughen the surface with an abrasive tool. To apply thermoplastic, the area to be leveled is heated to 170–180 ° C and the first thin layer of powder is applied, which is rolled with a metal roller. Then a second layer is applied and so on, until the unevenness is filled. Each layer is rolled to obtain a monolithic layer of plastic mass. After hardening, the layer is cleaned and leveled with a metal circle.

Corroded areas of body panels can be repaired with cold curing epoxy mastics, which are highly adhesive, durable and can be easily applied to damaged areas. The composition of mastics includes hardeners, plasticizers (to increase the plasticity of the resin and the impact strength of the cured epoxy composition), fillers (to reduce the shrinkage of the resin and bring the coefficients of thermal expansion of the resin and metal closer together).

POSSu 18 or POSSu 20 solders are used to level areas previously filled with solder, build up the edges of parts and to eliminate the gap. To prevent corrosion, it is better to use an acid-free soldering method.

In case of significant damage, the panels are replaced with new ones, using resistance welding and electric welding in a shielded gas environment.

Most often, when repairing the frame, replacing the wings, front and rear panels is required. The methods for replacing and repairing these parts can be taken as a basis for the repair of other parts of the skeleton, while knowledge of the location of the welds is necessary.
