VAZ 2106 body assembly with documents and number: its complete replacement and replacement of the spar according to the diagram

VAZ 2106 body with documents

The body of the VAZ 2106 is often searched for on forums and car portals. There may be several reasons for replacing it, and not all of them are related to old age. Anything can happen: a fire, an accident, and so on. It seems to beginners that replacing a body is very difficult, but this is not so. You just need to strictly adhere to a certain sequence, scheme. And one more thing - we remember that replacement is sometimes associated with a change in the registration certificate, because the body is considered a license plate part of the car.

Specific differences between the VAZ 2106 body

ATTENTION! A completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption has been found! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also didn’t believe it until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline! Read more"

First, let’s look at the characteristic features of the “six” body:

• The sedan body is 4-door, welded load-bearing structure and all-metal;
• It consists of a central skeleton and attached components, such as the hood, lid, doors, and so on.

Note. The frame of the “six” body is made in a rigid spatial structure. In turn, it consists of several separate components.

• The doors of the VAZ 2106 also consist of separate elements. These are two sheets of steel connected to each other along the entire border. The card is fixed from inside the doors. Pistons are provided for its fastening.

Note. The locks on the doors of the “six” are rotor type. They are equipped with a blocker.

• The hood is connected to the car frame from the front (hung). Locking is carried out using a cable mechanism. The lid release handle is located in the interior;
• As for the trunk lid, its structure is similar to the hood. It is equipped with torsion bars that are fixed to the lid hinges, thereby facilitating opening and holding the element in the open position;
• The front seats of the “six” can be adjusted individually in terms of inclination and distance from the dashboard.

Particular attention should be paid to the dimensions of the body. The picture above shows the VAZ 2106 body length and other important parameters.

Possible problems with the body

As a rule, there are certain types of malfunctions that are characteristic of the “six” body. Let's take a closer look at them.

Knowing the weak points of the body will allow you to replace it in parts, updating only the failed elements, thereby keeping the cost of repairs low. As you know, the assembled body of a VAZ 2106 is always more expensive.

So, common body problems are related to doors:

• The lock on them breaks down, the button in it is damaged or it simply cannot be locked with a key. The door itself may not open if there are problems with the outside handle. The door may also not close well.

Note. In all cases above, repairs can be made. If that doesn't help, then the only option is replacement.

Other body problems:

• The hood lock deserves special attention. If it does not open with a handle from the interior or the hood itself does not lock, it will have to be repaired or replaced;
• Another danger for drivers of the “six”: moisture gets into the cabin. This is due to a violation of the tightness of the seals, clogging of the drainage holes or a collapse of the metal frame;
• Water or dirt can also constantly seep into the trunk if the lid is dislodged or deformed. There may also be problems with the seal;
• The body of the “six” can become covered with various stains over the entire surface if careful attention is not paid to proper care.

Note. For example, if you wash it with too hot water, dark spots will appear, but light spots on dark cars will indicate exposure to excessive moisture during long-term storage of your favorite “six” under an impenetrable casing.

• Finally, the most dangerous thing is the discovery of rust in some parts of the body in areas hidden from view, which is caused, as mentioned above, by many reasons. Washing and applying anticorrosive to these areas will help for a while, but you will still have to replace the body or its individual elements.

Full scale replacement

Such replacement is an important and, in some cases, inevitable process. Over time, any metal frame will be exposed to rust, and today it is almost impossible to avoid getting into an accident over a long period of driving.

It is clear that the list of work required to restore the body of the “six” depends on the degree of defects. After an accident, the most important structural part of the car undergoes changes: the geometry is disrupted, visible and invisible flaws appear, and the coordinates of the installation locations of body elements are shifted.

Advice. Any restoration measures should be carried out so that the body number on the VAZ 2106 remains clearly readable. If it involves correcting minor defects, straightening and other similar activities, the VIN code must remain intact.

If the body is badly damaged, then after hard work it will not be easy to return the original shape of the frame elements to their previous state. In some cases, welding special rings helps, but as a result of such operations the VIN code is damaged.

Passport details and number

VAZ 2106 body number

When replacing the body, you must take into account that it is a separate element of the car and is assigned an individual number. It is recommended to pay attention to the following points:

• The identification plate on the body of the “six” contains all the necessary information: the VAZ 2106 body number, the internal combustion engine model and other equally important information are indicated here;
• The identification number can be decrypted. As a rule, the first three characters indicate the car manufacturer code, the next 6 characters indicate the car model, the Latin Y is the model year code, and the numbers following it are the body code;
• You can find IT on the air supply box from the engine compartment (on the right).

Note. On some sixes, the number may be located on the left wheel arch connector in the left front corner of the luggage compartment.

Legal side of the issue

New body for the “six”

Be that as it may, every owner of a “six” can face a complete replacement of the body. And in this case, he should be interested in the proper execution of documents.

The first thing to do is prepare a documentation package:

• Write a statement outlining the essence of the appeal;
• Prepare a paper proving the material rights of the owner;
• Vehicle registration certificate and document confirming the identity of the owner;
• License plate for the car;
• Various certificates from regulatory authorities (customs, etc.);
• Insurance policies;
• Transit numbers (if available).

Note. If changes have been made to the design of the car, then it is necessary to prepare a certificate of their history.

Further, after this entire list of documentation is handed over to the inspector, they will be checked for accuracy, and the car will be inspected on the site. After which, the changes made will be formalized, the information will be entered into the database, and the owner of the car will be issued with the appropriate official papers.

Note. Until 8.10. In 2013, all these actions were considered full rights and any car owner could replace the body. But then new amendments appeared, which were never fully confirmed. Because of this, it is recommended that you obtain local recommendations before undertaking any replacement.

One rule applies strictly: body replacement can only be carried out with exact agreement on the number, which will be clearly visible on the metal surface.

Do-it-yourself front spar replacement

So, if a full body replacement causes such problems, wouldn't it be easier to do a partial repair? Of course, you can replace damaged body parts yourself, using your own garage.

The body of the “six” and any other car is divided into several parts. One of the most vulnerable elements of the body is the spar. Let's find out how to change it without spending a lot of time and effort.

Advice. More often the front spar fails. It is not necessary to completely replace it. It is enough to change only most of it. For example, if a beam is torn from the spar, then by replacing only the front of the element by 10-20 cm behind the studs, we solve the problem.

It will be useful to know the weak points of the front spar:

• The area where it comes into contact with the mounting point of the steering mechanism;
• In the area of ​​contact with the beam;
• In the area of ​​contact with the anti-roll bar.

Algorithm for replacing the spar (if damage is in the area with the beam)

VAZ 2106 body spar

The usual diagnosis for a failed front spar is:

• Used car;
• Driving over uneven surfaces;
• The weak and old spar cannot withstand it, its pins come out, and the beam breaks.

Note. If you continue to drive in this condition, the fender liner, which is rubbed by the wheel, will also suffer.

The following defects are present:

1. Retracted suspension
2. Collapsed beam
3. Presence of a gap in the spar and beam
4. The fender liner is a little worn.

Actions:

• We disassemble the suspension, releasing the beam fastenings.

Note. It is not necessary to remove the internal combustion engine, but the oil filter and exhaust system rods will have to be removed.

To better disassemble the suspension, it will be enough to remove the anti-roll bar on the right, and on the left - knock the axis of the lower arm off the beam. This will make it possible not to completely disassemble the suspension and not knock out the supports.

Let's continue:

• We take a grinder and cut off the damaged part of the spar;
• We cook a new piece, be sure to overlap.

Welded piece of spar

Advice. The fact is that it will be difficult for beginners (who are not qualified welders) to weld a new piece of spar without one piece overlapping another. True, the seam will be roughly visible, but it can be puttyed and that’s it. But everything will hold securely. It is imperative to weld not only the junction of the pieces, but also do this through the drilled holes of the new piece of spar.

In addition, we must remember: when adjusting a piece of spar, its bolt hole must coincide with the beam. We can say that this very bolt is a kind of guideline that helps to carry out the correct installation.

Note. You can check the compliance of the spar in other ways. For example, measuring everything on the body with your own hands.

And finally: to strengthen the spar, it is recommended to weld an additional strip of metal on top, directly onto the welding joint. A width of 10 cm for the strip will be sufficient.

Body repair: types and instructions

If the body damage is minor, the car owner can handle the repairs on his own. Body repair includes the following types of work:

• Restoration of the body and its geometry. If there are violations, the car may malfunction while driving, fuel consumption increases, and the car is more difficult to drive. This increases the risk of accidents on the road.
• Straightening.
• Slipworks.
• Painting. Full or selective.
• Restoring coating after rust. Treatment of areas that were susceptible to corrosion processes with special converters, coating the surface with protective agents against rust.
• Polishing. It is carried out to restore the coating by removing scratches and small defects.
• Removing dents. Straightening areas while preserving paintwork.
• Welding work.
• Threshold repair.
• Bumper processing.

DIY body repair

VAZ 2106 car body

Repairing the outer tail of a car must be taken very seriously, because such repairs are the most expensive, but at the same time it is the most important work on the vehicle. After all, the appearance of a car is directly related to the degree of its grooming. Here, a lot depends on how to carry out this type of repair of the VAZ 2106 body - with your own hands or at a service station. In a broad sense, such body repair is the restoration of paintwork, as well as the original geometry of the body, deformed due to an accident. If there are shallow dents and irregularities on the elements of the body part, repair using the classical method involves treating the damaged area with sandpaper with a fine abrasive, applying putty with a special tool to give the surface a uniform level throughout. But with a dent of small depth, you can use the method of paintless dent removal, photos with application samples posted on our portal. Such work is usually carried out by specialists at a service station. This also applies to sheet metal, welding and other specialized work that should be carried out at a specialized enterprise. Specialists have not only knowledge and skills, but also the necessary software and special tools.

Body Shape Restoration

The car body elements are made by stamping from sheet metal. The tension in the molecular bonds of iron is formed during the extrusion of body elements under a press machine and retains the configuration of the product. When impact is applied to the body tail, which has a convex shape, they are compressed, and then alignment begins, but the tension of the molecular bonds is aimed at maintaining the already changed surface of the body element, already concave in shape. When forming the so-called the molecular tension belt that arose during impact in the damage zone, actions to unload this stress area should be carried out exactly at the place where the defect was formed. It follows from this that when carrying out body repair work, it is enough to clean the paint and primer from the damaged area with a scraper, as well as remove the fold of body metal that has formed on the area of ​​​​the deformed surface.
