UAZ-452 is a well-known cargo-passenger special vehicle. It is distinguished by all-wheel drive, increased cross-country ability and a 4x4 wheel arrangement. Because of the resemblance to a loaf of bread, the people called it "Loaf". Not a bad model, but it lacks comfort and appearance. And for some drivers - and the power of the power unit. So many people are tuning the UAZ-452 in their garage.

DIY improvements

"Loaf" is the car that is not in a hurry to scrap, regardless of its condition. Very often it is restored and redone. These changes can affect absolutely any parts and components: interior, body elements, engine, axles, and so on.

"Loaf" has good off-road and off-road performance. But very often they lift the suspension. It represents an increase in ground clearance.

Do-it-yourself UAZ-452 tuning is most often performed withoutproblems, it includes the following types of work:

• Repainting the body, drawing.
• Installing wheels with better tread.
• Installing the body kit: stairs to the back door, roof rack, bull bar.
• Installation of modified bumpers.
• Window tinting.
• Suspension replacement.
• Installation of a more powerful engine.
• Installation of preheater.

This is just a small list of what UAZ-452 tuning includes. It all depends on desire and fantasy.

Interior change

As already mentioned, "Loaf" lacks comfort. Therefore, salon tuning of the UAZ-452 almost always includes the replacement of seats. Seats from such foreign cars as Honda Civic, Opel Astra, Mitsubishi Delica, Volkswagen Passat B3, Toyota RAV 4 are suitable.

Very often a bed, a table are installed inside. This option is suitable for lovers of long-distance and long trips (for example, fishing, hunting). Lighting is brought to the rear of the body. Usually use LED lights.

Appearance makeover

External tuning UAZ-452 ("Loaf") allows you to make the car special, on which passers-by will cast admiring glances. This process begins most often with welding and preparatory work. The car is not new, so it needs to be repaired. Body elements are treated with anti-corrosion agents. After preparing the car, it is rarely painted in standard green. Most often for a carchoose camouflage coloring or airbrushing. There is room for fantasy here. It can be anything from animals, elements of nature, girls, skulls, stars and other pictures.

In addition to painting, the external tuning of the UAZ-452 includes the installation of a body kit. Individual items can be purchased in stores. In addition to the kenguryatnik, a winch is often installed in front. You will need it for off-road driving. The same roof rack can carry not only functional tasks, but also perform an aesthetic role. In addition, such a roof rack can protect the roof in certain situations. Often, elements of external lighting are installed on the trunk. They will facilitate movement in the dark.
