The homemade car, as they say, was made from what was available.

Its grille was borrowed from the VAZ-2107, and the headlights and door handles from the Volga. The lights were taken from the Zhiguli-Kopeyka, and the rear side windows from the Zaporozhets. The VAZ-2101 also became the donor for the dashboard in the cabin. Folk craftsman built a huge SUV from Volga and Zhiguli

The SUV’s engine is from the VAZ-2103, and the rear axle is from the Volga GAZ-31029. There is also all-wheel drive with a transfer case from the Niva, although the owner removed it for repairs in the summer.
