Nice pictures Alexey!

cool story, will view the video later. As far as I am concerned, you already have a super offroad car with the UAZ Buhanka :D At first I thought Chukhloma was somewhere in Siberia, but it is only just above Moscow :D Always interested in more stories and certainly the trip you want to take ;-)

Well, as promised I have to finish the story for now after we returned from our trips. We got the new tyres, as said before we bought the 215/90. IMG_1257 by Jaap van der Kooij, on Flickr Mounting and balancing the tyres (although I am not sur balancing will do anything with these tyres)...

55 is a bit fast for most of them, it is more convenient to keep it at 50mph (but only on flat roads). In rough terrain it works very well indeed. Why we bought one: incredible cheap compared to japanese/american cars parts are available everywhere mechanics are available anywhere as it is...

Nice house Aleksey, are you building in a village near Moscow? Can you tell me where this is: looks awesome to me

The UAZ's interior has been replaced, but since we will take guests with us, we need to have enough seats of course. For that purpose we had already bought 4 extra chairs. With the 2 already available we have 6. For now we will mount only 5 seats. For the sixth place we are looking for a folding...

Well, the tires are coming over the course of the week so we do not have any pictures yet. In the meanwhile, we did a lot of other things of course. First of all, we painted the entry white, because that reddish look was awful IMG_1162 by Jaap van der Kooij, on Flickr After that we provided...

The ceiling is mounted for 90% now, while the rest will be done while mounting the sidepanels. So, we started with this sidepanels. Although the model of this car is over 50 years old, it seems that every car is unique. We have to customize every panel so it will fit properly. IMG_1114 by...

Hi techno Guy, We organize our trips in Siberia, so that is also where the car is :D.

I think that will be on the 3th of August.

wow, great car. I admire that you even consider to start with such a project and then in the end it looks great!

Well, it is weekend so time to write an update about the progress in Siberia. We cleaned the wall between the driver and the cabin, when we bought the car there was some self-adhesive carpet. When we removed it, it left a very sticky mess behind. It is removed very nicely. before IMG_1047 by...

The team in Siberia is working very hard to prepare the car. We bought/ordered a lot of new parts. New covers for the seats, windows, plastic caps for the fuellines in the cabine, some extra fuses as there are almost none installed, isolation, sunshades, foam for the ceiling, and cover for the...

So last week I went to Siberia to finally buy an UAZ 452 Buhanka. We already searched the web but selecting a car from some pictures does not work. As my flight was to Novosibirsk and I arrived early in the morning, we had chosen two interesting cars to look at in that city. Unfortunately, we...

Haf-E, Yes they are straight axles, with leaf springs. year of build is 2000, which is according to the workshop one of the better years. The engine runs on petrol, reminds me very much of our old VW Beetle :D

To expand our business we bought an UAZ 452. At this moment we are replacing the interior so it will suit our needs of course. IMG_0926 by Jaap van der Kooij, on Flickr I will share some more pictures tonight.
