Crazy mad cambered Wolga [pics from Russia]

IMHO if you need to push the track out further towards the bottom of the wheel, then it's not really camber in the true sense. But interesting look none the less

As a recent owner of one of these -I was interested.

But -I don't like any of it -soz.

Is it cos I'z old?

I shall avoid discussing the styling, suffice to say I'm with Nige on this one, probably because I'm old too.

However, your link lead me to a few interesting things.

Not to mention girls draped over modified Ladas:

What a find! I'm only on page 4!

Usually I try to avoid reading EnglishRussia... Because usually I'm stuck there for hours and get nothing done... ;D

haha, don't i know it. I subscribe to this russian blog thingy that has been posting loads of these lately - the girls and the cars are far worse than those ones! It's quite the sociological commentary.

Also check out this dashboard!

I'm not really into the finished product but this picture really works for me:

So what are sensible mods then? Who's not done something to theyr car that wasn't 100% logical?

I think it's awesome! And look where it was converted - many would struggle with this even in a heated workshop with every tool imaginable

I also don't "get" the camber thing, mind. But turning the car into a coupé - hell yeah!!

In the context of vehicles it is relative to the longitudinal centerline of the vehicle.

Agreed. The whole camber thing ain't my cup 'o tea; but I love how they turned it into a chopped-top coupe! Too cool. Kinda reminds me of that early 80s Volvo coupe- 262C IIRC.

If I were building it, I'd keep the stock wheelwells and bumpers, and slam it over stock-sized whitewalls, steelies and hubcaps
