In the territory of the countries of the former USSR, the legendary VAZ 2101 car (popularly nicknamed “kopek”) still travels on roads, despite its 40-year-old age. “Kopek” can rightfully be considered a people's car - it has a simple design without unnecessary electronics, and you can repair it right on the track. Its low cost, maintainability and a characteristic body structure favor various modifications and alterations. Moreover, the possibilities for tuning here are more than enough. Just look at the interior of the car, and everything will become clear. Agree, rather gloomy interior.
What is a penny? A car whose tuning can make it the most modern passenger car in its class. Due to the absence of unnecessary “bells and whistles”, a real testing ground opens for car owners. You can experiment, and if something goes wrong, it will be easy to eliminate unnecessary results. By the way, many motorists say that tuning a “penny” is a very simple and cheap process. Even if you compare the 2101 model with the same Muscovites and Volga, tuning will still be cheaper. And the refinement of the national car does not end with a change in its appearance by replacing bumpers, headlights and body kits - craftsmen go further and begin painstaking work on the interior. How does this happen? Now we find out.
Sheathing
Doing the internal tuning "penny", take care of replacing the skin. The fabric also changes on the door cards and on the seats. By the way, the last element can be replaced by sports. If you want to restore the original appearance, which initially had a VAZ "penny", tuning will be to restore the previous properties of the cabin. Both that and another way mean replacement of an upholstery. By the way, you can sheathe the inside of the machine with a variety of materials. The “penny” salon is very versatile, so any fabric can be used for work: velor and even leather. True, the latter option can cost you an amount equal to the total cost of the entire machine. But the skin will last more than one year and will always be elastic. As for the color scheme, it is better not to rush here. First, carefully draw a drawing of the interior using a computer program and select a specific skin color for it, changing it until the material successfully combines with the overall picture.
VAZ "Kopeyka" - tuning for youth
If you do not want to restore the previous characteristics of the machine, but want to move it forward to the present, this process does not do without installing high-quality acoustics. Also tuning "penny" can be supplemented by installing backlight for the glove compartment. Optionally, you can stick LEDs on the thresholds so that at night you can see everything that the foot steps on.
In conclusion, I want to say that tuning a penny is not only an opportunity to show your imagination in practice. After experimenting with the old 2101 model VAZ, you will no longer be afraid to work with more expensive cars and will not perform unnecessary actions that were repeated with the Zhigulenok.
