The noise generator you showed us in the back is a football rattle, we used them in the UK at the Saturday games but I dare say it will scare off Animals for hunting really well. Nice project though.
Thank you for this amazing video. Here in Yakutia we used to make bone fires under them or trucks to warm up the engine and oil in winter. Now we only do that is the truck is outside engine off for too long. It will work. UAZ takes a lot of maintenance but very resistant! That is why here have a lot of them here as they can survive our mud road and winter with -60C
@@CasperWolff it depends on the car and year. Generally speaking it is a car that needs regular maintenance and repairs. If you know mechanic you will be ok. And you need to make sure you have access to parts as well.
Wow that is going to be a fantastic project and I wouldn't have guessed it in a month of Sundays , really looking forward to see how this project turns out , nice one Seppo.
Hi!!! We are in the same situation. We just imported a UAZ 452 to the Uk and working on it to pass the MOT. Our is ex-military and it seems in a good condition as well. Keep in touch!
Originally imported from Lithuania by the looks of it. The pen is from the Bank of Lithuania and the blue sticker is for a Lithuanian political party. The bottle does say glass cleaner and is washer fluid. I used to live there when these were everywhere. Been in a lot of them and my wife was taken to hospital in a grey ambulance one both times our daughters were born. I've even been camping in the forest in one. We want to get one as well from Lithuania. No problem as we can register it there if needs be and then drive it home. I'm Scottish but speak fluent Lithuanian and my wife is Lithuanian and can speak Russian. I'll get one with synchro mesh on all gears though. Oh and the button below the fuel guage is to switch between the dual tanks. I expect others have told you that. And the engine bulge into the cargo space has a hatch so you can get to the 4th spark plug.
Yes it has been used in a hunting company that used it to transport customers out into the hunting grounds in Lithuania. :) They are really cool! thank you for the information... I am missing one of the fuel tanks it turned out! :)
Hi, So, a little thing on left of the clutch pedal is a foot switch for headlights. Metallic switcher is for the ventilator of climate system. Red light indicater is for the brake system problems another one for handbrake on/off. Black things on motor cover are carburetor throttle control, carburetor choke control and radiator shutter control. Gearstick 4x2, 4x4, down off, up - on, the seconde one, up H, dawn L, intermediate N. H-N-L Good luck!
Its also in Call of duty Modern Warfare... I found one and was very interested in seeing how the rocker panels are supposed to look... And then I was shoot... haha!
You are crazy man. And I love you and I love the project! As you know I bought a T4 this winter for camping...so I'm looking forward to see the building!
Russian cars used to be like that, often designed with the owner doing servicing and some repairs, possibly in a remote part of the Soviet Union. I had 2 Moskvitch 2140s in the early 80s and they came with a starting handle, a very comprehensive tool kit and a large A4 hardback owners manual, with detailed accounts of many procedures with diagrams and photos, rather like a Haynes manual. One memorable section was dedicated to 'Laying up the Car in the Event of Hostilities' (removing and storing fluids, battery removal and storage, wheels and tyres off, stored and car placed on blocks in a shed, as I recall)
That's interesting.... Its such a shame that this philosophy of making stuff that the owners can maintain is a dying thing.... I really hope that will change one day.
Ha! I knew it! Three gear levers was a dead giveaway. I wouldn't worry too much about getting spares. These things are all over the eastern Europe. Yours in particular came from Lithuania judging by the washer fluid bottle.
Wow Freeman! I am amazed about your car knowledge.... That anyone could guess it is unbelievable from my point of view... :O Yes its from Lithuania! :D
Makes sense that it would have an "american car feature" like the hi beam stomp switch. 😆 ...really cool project, by the way!!! love it! .....Make a platform for the back end, that mounts via a trailer hitch, that can carry 2 or 3 mopeds.....
@@SeasideGaragethx! 🙂 are you looking for tough paint for various parts of the project, that's easy to do yourself, with no special equipment? Check out the American product "Steel-It". It's stainless steel flake, in a polyurethane base, that comes in simple spray cans. Seriously check out their info. Really really cool product, that's a lot cheaper than powder coating, and much tougher, as well as having some very cool features...
No its actually for the fan i found out! :O But it is supposed to have to tanks... Mine only have one, I suspect the other one was removed for some reason.... And I am afraid that I only have the small one! haha!
I think I know that car, given your Danish Accent and the fact that there are not many "Kermit the Frog green" UAZ 452 in Denmark. This is one of the cars Vladim brought to the country. I was also interested in that a year ago and had a test drive, You have to double declutch when you drive that UAZ. At some point in the 80's UAZ upgraded to a synchronized transmission this one was build before that. You can get newer transmissions for them if you get tired of double declutching. I think I know what the B and D stands for, that is for picking the tanks that the engine consumes from, as you probably has learned this car got two fuel tanks. YA3 that is UAZ in Cyrillic.
cyrillic YA3 on the middle hatch says indeed UAZ. Spare key says ZIL also a vehicle company. You can get a 5 speed but this engine will lack the power. Those tires are made in Bulgaria I think and are kinda sketchy on the road :P
I think I will try to get some better tires that are a compromise of comfort and 4x4... :) Yea 5 gear and 68hp could be a problem! ;) Thanks for your comment Glennn!
Nonononono, this is too awesome! I would think the grey switch in the middle is for the heater fan? And the two light I would expect to be oil pressure and charge light? I love this car, I think it will make for an awesome camper, especially if you compare it to the Volvo :) I’m wondering if the hole in the front number is for hand cranking???
If it were daily transportation then I'd definitely have wanted a test drive but I wouldn't worry so much about buying unseen with a project. Worse case you need to take a bit longer to get it back on the road but at least you don't have to use it to get to work.
that wooden thing you found in the van was also used in ww1 to warn soliders about gas bombs so the soliders can put Their gas masks on. Also the buhanka is still in production
The only thing I know about them, they're Russian and they pronounce the brand as "oo-azz", thanks to watching Garage54 and Kreosan, after that, I know nothing about them... :P And them wooden noise-maker things, people used to use them at football matches too, dunno why, they're annoying!!! :P
Haha like the van.... Sadly I didn't watch your last video till the end, so I didn't know there was a project car, but I would have said Mitstubishi Delica (or previous models) or something like that or a unimog (even if it is a truck)... With the hatch thing... In British Top Gear with Jeremy clarkson there is video about Soviet car and he actually shows how one of the cars did have the a small hatch to go wishing with an inbuilt light too lol Here is the link to the top gear video I mentioned: ruclips.net/video/So9r_UZI6zQ/видео.html Anyway great video! And too bad it is not highway cruiser to go far but hope you have a lot of nice places to camp in!
I remember that now! going to re watch it... :) Its not fast, so going places will take some time, but thats not the reason to have something like this... Slow living! ;)

Hi!!! We are in the same situation. We just imported a UAZ 452 to the Uk and working on it to pass the MOT. Our is ex-military and it seems in a good condition as well. Keep in touch!
By the way, We can give you a spares shop online in Europe, really cheap. Let us know if you need the address.
Thats cool! :D
Yes I would like to hear about more shops.. :)
Good luck with yours.
That's a cool camper project! Looks very simple and so much space in the back. Looking forward to see how it turns out!
Its really roomy... especially coming from a volkswagen T25!
Viel Glück mit deinem Projekt!
Very cool vehicle, I've never seen one here in the UK. Looking forward to following this project.
They are rare in these parts of the world.... :)
Amazing addition to the fleet. And I thought the Skoda could not be beaten.... Look forward to seeing progress on this lovely Loaf
thanks! :)

The original minis had the high beam operated by a floor button up until the mark 2 came out, also with the short gearstick.
Did it? I did not know :D
The switch under the full gage is switching from one full tank to the secondary one (50+27)
No its actually for the fan i found out! :O
But it is supposed to have to tanks... Mine only have one, I suspect the other one was removed for some reason.... And I am afraid that I only have the small one! haha!
The little pin in front of the heater poking out the "tunnel" is the fuel switch.It's missing the lever.
Et virkelig spændende projekt. Jeg glæder mig til at følge det.
det glæder mig. :)
Try it on off road! It is extremely good off road as is.
I can imagine! :D

Thanks! :D
I all the engine cover inside the van a “dog house”
Good name.. :)
If the car is from 1996 and later it should have 2,7 L and 112 hp engine
And yes 2,4 with 90hp is also a possible engine that you might have)) its more common one I guess
I believe he said 1986 model so 68hp.
Its a 1986 and I am pretty sure its 68hp :)
