Characteristics
For many, especially lovers of foreign cars, the question of the merits of the VAZ 2110 still remains controversial. However, their presence is indicated by the number of cars still running on the roads of Russia and the CIS countries today. The “Ten”, produced since 1997, received a sedan body, while the body length of the VAZ 2110 was 4265 mm, which is only slightly less than that of the station wagon (VAZ 2111) and hatchback (2112). However, this body length of the 2110 looks the most organic among the “tenth” family.

How to pay TWICE LESS for GASOLINE!
- Gasoline prices are rising every day, and the car's appetite is only increasing.
- You would be happy to cut costs, but is it possible to live without a car these days!?
But there is a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption!
Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also didn’t believe it until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline! Read more about this at the link. Find out what the secret is
Body reliability
Even if compared with the same VAZ cars - eights and nines, the bodies of the VAZ Lada 2110 are more reliable and resistant to corrosion. All-metal, made of metal with good performance, having partially galvanized parts, the bodies come off the assembly line with factory anti-corrosion treatment.
However, we should also pay tribute to our car owners. They, remaining adherents of domestic technology, despite all its shortcomings, themselves take care that the bodies serve for a long time and reliably. Therefore, they almost always add their own to the standard anti-corrosion treatment.
And then they also make sure that it is in place, and if necessary, they “touch up” the bottom of the car, treat the sills, fender liners, etc. with Movil. And although the oldest VAZ 2110 is already more than fifteen years old, you are unlikely to find completely rusty ones among them, because their owners love and cherish them.
People's love
The name “matryoshka” is reliably assigned to the VAZ 2110, and it comes from some visually noticeable “inconsistencies” of individual body elements. In addition, the ten-sedan is sometimes called a “pregnant antelope”, although this nickname was given to it at the beginning of its release, until they got used to the peculiar design of the car body - a “plump” middle and a slightly angular shape of the “bow” and “stern” .
VAZ 2110
And yet, even these small absurdities of the body did not become an obstacle to the popular love for the ten. The same arrival of Priora on the Russian automobile industry market did not make the previous model unclaimed. And for sure, the beloved VAZ 2110, one of the most successful Russian designs, will roam our roads for a long time to come.
Body advantages
Although the VAZ 2110 body is classified as a development corresponding to the golf class, it shows very decent parameters in this segment. For example, due to the sufficient length of the body, the car has a very spacious trunk volume.
In the usual configuration, it is 415 liters, which is already a lot and allows you to transport not only the essentials (spare wheel, jack, keys), but also many things - from supermarket purchases to camping equipment. And if you fold the rear seats, the car's capacity increases to 1270 liters.
Transformation of the VAZ 2110 interior
Considering that the length distance between the centers of the VAZ 2110 wheels is 2495 mm, plus the length of the luggage compartment is 944 mm, this results in almost 2 meters of additional “luggage” space. That is, if necessary and if you have a mattress, you can sleep here - relax on a long journey, or not take it, and then set up a tent when you go to the sea or river for the weekend. In addition, the car is thus “protected.”

Instrumental check by checkpoints
And yet, things are not always so simple. And even an experienced eye will not always notice small “inconsistencies”. With proper body repair, the geometric dimensions can only be checked by taking measurements. Professionals use special meters for this.
But to carry out this procedure at home, an ordinary tape measure is sufficient. You need to find special control marks that are located on the bottom of the VAZ body. It is from them that measurements should be taken. How and in what sequence can be found in the operating instructions for the VAZ 2110.
If, say, you need to make sure that the linear dimensions of your particular car (for example, you changed the wings, door, etc.) match, then you should not always trust even the operating instructions; sometimes you can find errors there too.
As control dimensions of the body, use the dimensions you personally took from the side of the car where no replacements or straightening were carried out.
Check points on the body and underbody
It is necessary to take measurements at the following points:
- Diagonal. Before measuring body dimensions using reference points, you can take just two measurements that will help clarify the picture. Drive the car onto an overpass or pit and use a tape measure from below to measure the dimensions diagonally. They must match, as they say, neck to neck. Match up? Great, but don't stop there;
- Racks. You definitely need to check the racks. First - from the unbeaten side (if such is known), then - from the bat. In principle, in this case you can choose any body points (the main thing is that they are the same on both sides). For example, from the pillar to the edge of the bend on the rear doors. Also on the front ones. The sizes match - great. Let's move on;
- Roof. To make sure that the roof of the VAZ 2110 does not “sink”, you need to measure the dimensions of the door diagonals - from the lower rear corner diagonally to the upper front corner. Naturally, the dimensions on both sides should be the same. In addition to this, it is advisable to measure the diagonals of the roof itself;
- Windshield. For some reason, many people believe that if the windshield “fits” normally, then control measurements are not needed, they say, the geometric dimensions of the body are in order. This is mistake. You need to measure - moreover, diagonally, and choosing points at the same distance on both sides.

| B – short diagonal of the rear side window frame – 370 mm | E – short diagonal of the rear side window frame – 230 mm | K – long diagonal of the front doorway – 1500 mm |
| B – diagonal of the rear door opening – 1280 mm | F – diagonal of the rear door opening – 1320 mm | M – short diagonal of the rear side window frame – 720 mm |
| D – distance from the middle of the upper beam of the rear door opening to the middle of the lower beam of the opening – 925 mm | Z – distance from the middle of the upper beam of the rear door opening to the middle of the lower beam of the opening – 1050 mm | H – long diagonal of the rear side window frame – 1040 mm |

Body parts
The VAZ 2112 is popular among novice motorists. This is precisely what can explain certain shortcomings and deformations that appear on the car body elements over time. A novice driver is usually inexperienced and makes certain mistakes that lead to accidents or breakdowns.
Note. Bumpers suffer more often than others. These body elements are damaged during sudden braking or when the start is not timely enough, which leads to impacts from the front and rear.
Car wings are no less susceptible to deformation. These parts themselves are not very strong, and if they collide in a serious accident, they are severely deformed. Less serious damage can be corrected, according to the dimensions given by the standard geometry of the VAZ 2112 body. Complex deformations cannot be restored, and it is easier to replace.
Note. The front wings of the VAZ 2112 suffer most often, since these are the parts that break during side front impacts when the “twelve” does not give way.
And, of course, corrosion eats up a lot of parts of the VAZ 2112 if the owner does not take sufficient care of the vehicle. The hood, doors and those parts of the body that are either hidden from view or located close to the road surface are most often exposed to the negative effects of rye.
Subtleties of body repair
Body repairs are most often carried out after an accident, but also if some parts are rusty. But you should still try to avoid welding and other work that involves thermal heating of the metal.
Small scratches and chips can become a source of corrosion in the future. In order to avoid this, it is best to tint small defects. Details: https://vazweb.ru/desyatka/obschee/kak-podkrasit-skolyi-na-mashine-samomu.html
If possible, try not to remove bezels. This can also lead to changes in body geometry. And after any repair work related to the body, be sure to check its linear dimensions.
| Cars that have just rolled off the assembly line have strictly verified body dimensions. With these dimensions at hand, you can determine whether the car has been involved in an accident. Also, control dimensions of the body will be useful in case of repair and restoration work after such an accident. |
A significant part of the repair work on cars, especially those arriving after road accidents, falls on body repairs. In most cases, when repairing a body, it is necessary to check the geometry of the attachment points of components and assemblies of the vehicle chassis. Geometry of the body and engine compartment of the VAZ 2110-12 in the diagrams: If the body is severely damaged, it is recommended to remove all internal upholstery parts to facilitate the measurement, control and installation of hydraulic and screw jacks to eliminate distortions and damage to the body. Protrusion of the front surfaces and removable parts relative to adjacent panels is eliminated by fitting and adjusting them.
