The hood, doors and front fenders are bolted together and can therefore be removed and replaced without any problems (see illustration 1.0). But in this case, during installation, it is imperative to observe the necessary clearances, otherwise, for example, the door may knock, or increased air flow noise will be observed during movement. The gap must always run parallel, which means that the distance between the body parts must be the same along the entire length of the gap. Permissible deviations should not exceed 1 mm.
Numerous elements of cladding and body trim are fixed with expanding clamps. Damaged or missing fasteners should be replaced with new ones.
Almost all body parts can be installed and removed using a common set of tools. Care must be taken during disassembly and reassembly to prevent damage to the seals and the anti-corrosion coating applied at the factory. Elements of the brake and fuel systems located on the bottom are covered with appropriate shields (see illustration 1.0a).
Body repair is recommended to be carried out in specialized workshops.
Most of the body parts are connected with socket head bolts.
Attention! If, as part of the body work, work will be performed on the electrical system of the car, be sure to disconnect the wire terminal «masses» (-) battery, see relevant chapter. Electrical work includes even the simple disconnection of an electrical wire.
