Hi, this is Mambof Jamaican Music Group
Pick up all the viewers from Jamaica and around the world
Welcome to the Kingston Kustom Garage, mini-Russian featured
Today we will be showing you a few Soviet era cars
Hi there, please tell us about this car
This is Gaz-21
Issued in 1966
These cars were in production in 1960-1970
What was the condition of this car at first?
At first, it was just the bulk
The wheels were in a poor condition
There was no paint
The bulk was sandblasted, painted
As for the electric part, we repaired the engine
We also sandblasted and painted the wheels
All in all, the car isn't finished yet, there are still things to do
The roof, some electrical parts require fixing
There's still a lot to do
Do you do all the repairs yourself?
Yes, with my own hands
I wanted to buy a car like this
I'll always be able to get a foreign car
While this is the car for the heart
I wanted to make it with my own hands, compile it fully
I didn't want to go to the car service for someone to deal with it
Wanted to do it with my own hands
How hard is it to restore a car like this, to find the parts for it?
It's rather hard to find the parts
You have to order them or use the new ones
Especially the ones made of chrome-plated steel
The bumper, grids, mirrors
Car stereo
Chrome-plated parts are very expensive
It's usually done at plants
These don't normally chrome-plate such parts these days
So you either have to order chrome-plating
There are agencies installing such parts on demand
As for the parts, for example, UAZ engine fits
And I took the engine from one Volga and installed it here
I repainted and restored it
Would you be willing to sell a car like this and for how much?
I am not ready to sell it for now
I am making it, compiling it for myself
This is a car for my own pleasure
I'd only sell it in case of an emergency
I am making it for myself
The final question, tell us about some funny story
that happened when you were fixing or using this car?
We once went for a ride, arrived here
We came in the evening, went to the cinema, came back
The car wasn't starting anymore
At that time, I didn't understand it too well yet
Didn't know what the problem was
I looked under the cowl, in the carburettor
I went to the UAZ shop, bought new parts, ignition wires
I thought it was an issue with electrics
I changed many things
But it turned out that there was the plus wire in the ignition
I spent half a day here with the car
It turned out that a wire just got unattached
That's why the car wouldn't start
I fixed the wire, the car started and worked
That's the story
Thanks for the chat!
Hi Igor, please tell us what is this car?
This is Volga, GAZ-21
Issued in 1967
What was the original state of the car?
All in all, it looked the same way as now
I changed the interior
There was no front sofa, only separate chairs
The gear box was new, from GAZ-3110, multiple speed
I got rid of it, repaired the engine
Found the new sofa for the front
I changed the doors, the steering wheel
So you did all the work yourself?
Yes
How hard was it?
When it was broken, I'd take it to the car service
But the rest I did myself, what I could
How hard was it to find the parts?
Depends on which part
It took me a year to find the radio
The prices on the internet start at 3.5 thousand
And they don't look that well
I managed to buy the radio and the dashboard for 1,000 RUB
It's not really working, but it looks the right way
It adds to the interior, it's not a hole
Like it used to be at first
I had to go to another city 100 km away for the hooter
Wasn't too expensive
Tell us some interesting story that happened to you
when you were restoring the car or using it
Nothing unusual really happened
They say, don't fix what's not broken
I wanted to improve the car a little after the general repairs
I accidentally broke the cotter pin and had to fix the engine again
Had to take it to the car repairs again
That was rather unexpected
The final question
How developed do you think retro cars and cars in general are in Russia?
I think they have been developing a lot lately
There are fans of retro cars almost in every big city
The make up clubs
The go for rides when opening a season, for local holidays
They are rather successful
Got it, thank you, Igor
Hi Ilya, please tell us about this car
This is Pobeda M-20
Issued in 1956
What state did you find it in?
The car stayed for about 3 years without working
I set up a new battery, it ignited
How hard was it to restore it?
How hard was it to find the parts for the car?
It's hard to say I restored this car
There are lots of new things in it, not original parts
From the engine to the undercarriage
The car stereo
So it wasn't very hard
Certainly, if I wanted to restore it close to the original,
it would have been much harder and more expensive
How did you change the engine, the undercarriage, the gear box?
The engine is from a German car
BMW
The gear box is also automatic from a BMW
The undercarriage is from modern Volgas
Tell us a funny story that happened
when restoring or using the car?
It's hard to remember just one story
Usually, people like retro cars, treat them nicely
The are interested in them, they like to take pictures with it
Also, the road police and just police have a favourable attitude to the cars of the kind
And to the drivers of these cars
I think that's one of the advantages
Okay, then the final question
How well do you think the movement of retro cars is developed in Russia?
I think it's gaining momentum now
People are getting interested in it
There are way more cars that are older than 30-40 years
When I bought in 2007, I seemed to be the only one interested
I bought a retro car to restore it
Everyone used to think that these cars are just old buckets
There are lots of them now
Their numbers are growing annually
People are interested, they like it
Got it, thanks for the chat!
Thank you!
