The tuner presented its own SUV from Hunter and GAZ
This article will talk about a unique off-road vehicle, which its owner called “Gazik”. It was created by an enthusiast in an ordinary garage. This two-seater compact pickup truck combines the frame of the UAZ Hunter and the body of the Soviet GAZ-69A.
The project was created in Tyumen without the involvement of a specialized studio, which gives it special value. The creator of Gazik is a true enthusiast and connoisseur of retro cars, who decided to make his long-time dream of an unusual SUV come true. Let us remind you that the original GAZ-69A is an open cross-country SUV with a characteristic silhouette. However, the author decided to convert it into a two-seater version with an enlarged cargo compartment to realize his plan.
To implement the idea, the frame of a damaged UAZ “Hunter” was purchased, which underwent painstaking straightening on a special autoworking yard. We also purchased military axles with increased load capacity, which were then adapted for the GAZ spring suspension. After all the major technical work was completed, the frame was painted bright orange.
Then the car enthusiast began painstakingly modifying the body: he made a durable hard roof from sheet metal, dismantled the rear doors, and created a spacious cargo platform. Wide wheel arches and massive stainless steel running boards were also installed, the interior was repaired and updated with soundproofing and the installation of new devices.
After painting, the stylized body was integrated with a powerful 2.7-liter 127-horsepower ZMZ-409 carburetor engine. As a result of many months of work, the result was an SUV with excellent cross-country ability, which can often be seen at exhibitions of retro technology. This homemade “Gazik” is a vivid embodiment of the idea and the highest skill of a true car enthusiast. (photo: www.drive2.ru)
