It is possible to estimate the current state of the vehicle in many ways due to the body analysis. A variety of consumables are subject to replacement, the suspension can be sorted by replacing worn and defective parts, the power unit is also repaired either the mounted equipment is replaced, in the extreme case, the overhaul or its full replacement is performed. Well, as for the restoration of a fully broken body, it is meaningless and expensive. No one will refine, tuning, invest large in the car, whose body lives in recent years. In this case, the cost of the vehicle drops significantly, even if the engine is in excellent condition. Therefore, it is very important to keep track of the body and systematically carry out preventive and repair bodyworks that are aimed at combating rust. About this further in the article.

Rust of the bottom of the VAZ 2110, the reasons for the appearance of rust

To the main reasons for the occurrence of bottom corrosion can be attributed:

• Age.
• Non-quality repairs.
• Accident.
• Humidity in the garage.
• Weather (Snow, rain).
• Moisture in the salon.
• Riding in Gravel..

How to deal with rust on the car body, prevention measures

• Age.Already after 5-7 years, traces of corrosion may occur on the bottom and body. Unfortunately, there are no means against age.
• Poor-quality repair.Do not save on the repair of the body, since the unqualified specialist will not really do anything, it only takes your money and time. Choose a proven service station and experienced masters.
• Accident.Avoid accidents. This is the only recommendation in this case.
• Humidity in the garage.Protect the room from moisture, in winter, regularly turn on the heat fan in the garage, the heater.
  
• Weather.Try to wash and knock on the snow that is nalip under the bottom. Especially if you often have to ride on the roads that are sprinkled with reagents or salt to melt ice and snow.
• Moisture in the cabin.Moisture enters the salon through wet shoes. Because of this, the bottom rotes from the inside. In winter, be sure to warp rubber mats that have a board, and watch the water does not get into the salon during the rain or washing.
• Riding in gravel.Such roads should be avoided, since small stones are able to destroy the anti-growing coating, after which corrosion appears on the body.

How to increase the life of the bottom of the car

To increase the service life of your car, it is necessary to systematically perform anti-corrosion processing. At the same time, it is important to pay special attention to the hidden cavities of the thresholds and spars.

How to find rust on the bottom, to pay attention to the inspection of the bottom of the car

It is not difficult to determine the presence of corrosion on the bottom. Although if you bought a vehicle with hands, these problems can disguise well.

1. Inspect the body from below. Rust may hide behind a layer of putty or anti-agravine coating. Take advantage of a selection or hammer, applying unlocks from these places. If there is a rust, you will notice it.
2. Check the condition of the body in the cabin near the driver's feet and the front passenger, as well as along the thresholds. On VAZ 2110, it is these places that are considered the most weak.
3. If the bottom has rotted, this can be noted on how the floor is bent under his feet in the conditions of loads.
4. If the driver's seat is impossible to shift or breaks it, it can also talk about the rotten body.
5. One of the most unpleasant situations are rotten playgrounds that are designed to lift the car on the jack.

Choosing a workplace

All robots are held in the garage or other equipped room. Put the vehicle on the stand.

Safety at work

Get this car location to work comfortably and safely under it. Be sure to disconnect the battery.

Tools, fixtures, consumables

When performing repair work, you will need such tools:

• Grinding angular machine. It will take to fit the patches and elements, cleaning surfaces and seams, as well as need to remove rust from the floor.
• Welding machine.When repairing the bottom of the car, it is advisable to use a semi-automatic with carbon dioxide and wire. It is more reliable, more efficient and better than electrodes and gas.
  
• Stands for the vehicle.Here you can use different items.
• The rest of the tools and materials are standard and includes the following items: paint, noise insulation sheets, primer, sandpaper, Welding wire, seam mastic, anti-corrosion solution.

Preparatory work (detail about dismantling)

1. First of all, we dismantle the doors. In this case, experts recommend providing spacers for doorways to keep the body geometry and its rigidity.
2. Since repairing the bottom is necessary not only under the machine, but from the inside, you will have to fully disassemble the salon. This task is complex and take a long time. You will have to dismantle: carpet, armchairs, air ducts, floor tunnel cladding, noise insulating layer.
3. Gently collect all the wiring and combine in bundles, to avoid problems with the assembly. It is important to collect all the fasteners, distribute them on boxes and sign.
4. If you plan to welding the panel to the floor or the full replacement of the bottom, then you will have to remove the torpedo and beard to create open access to the engine shield.

Body elements of the VAZ 2110, which most often change completely

To elements of the body of the VAZ 2110, which often change completely, belong:

• Support sites.
• Outdoor panels.
• Abandon of the spar.
• The threshold.
• Connectors.
• Cross.

Welding work when repairing the bottom

1. To replace the old detail you need to drill it at welded points or just cut off with the help of a grinder.
2. Do not forget that under the bottom there are pipelines of the fuel and brake system. They are extremely difficult to dismantle, therefore it is easier to cut, and when assembling, install new components of pipelines.
3. Always start the bottom at the bottom, and then grab.
   
4. If the floor panels are in critical condition, the bottom must be completely replaced. However, in this case, it is necessary to dismantle the exhaust system.
5. Do not make basic welding with solid seam. It is important to observe the step of about four to five centimeters.

Replacing thresholds, welding tips

1. If you need to change the thresholds, you need to dismantle them and install new alternately. It is important to control geometry.
2. If the replacement of thresholds and gender is performed at the same time, thresholds change the first, and then the floor panels.
3. Without assistant, you can not do.
4. Carefully conduct markup components for welding. Old elements must accurately match the new.

Protection of updated bottoms from corrosion (sequence of work)

1. Removal of scale, we clean the metal to the brilliance.
2. Lubricate the surface with suture mastic.
3. We proceed with primer metal elements.
4. Apply a layer of paint.
5. Outside, we processes the bottom with the help of anti-agvine composition and mastic.
6. Carefully measure and cut off with scissors leaf insulation. It must be heated with an industrial hairdryer and put on the bottom (if it is bitumen shumka).

Tips Pros: reverse assembly, how to remember and restore everything without problems

If you correctly disassemble the interior and dismantle the elements of the bottom, there should be no problems with their assembly. It is advisable to register each stage and record on video, as well as sign each box with fastening components.
