As we have restored refrigerator ZIL Moscow

In this article I want to tell you that two years ago, my friend and I restored the refrigerator "ZIL Moscow". I think everyone is familiar with a reliable cooling unit fifties years of release. But first, a little background

It all started with the fact that my wife to a safe place had to buy a refrigerator. New buy did not make sense, as to hang him from one of removable property to another did not have much desire and the finances are not allowed.

Decided to purchase some sort of Soviet small refrigerator. All the same, they are more reliable and durable than any modern. Prosherstili different ads on the Internet resources and saw ZIL, which sold at Avito just 1500 rubles in working condition. As it turned out, the person selling it due to uselessness, and was already wanted to throw it out as particularly willing to buy the artifact was not within a month.

In the refrigerator it had two disadvantages: the absence of doors in the freezer and a very shabby appearance. For us, this was utter nonsense, and we finally bought it.

Once all of a sudden I got the idea to restore it and give the appearance in order. While my friend worked in the painting and agreed to help me.

At first we both must have washed it inside and out, disinfected and left aired from unpleasant odors. Next, start thinking what is the color of its paint. Choice fell on a bright red, as in the kitchen in a rented apartment had a kitchen the same color.

It continues to be applied evenly special acrylic paint, and we did it for 30-40 minutes.

Also, it was necessary to come up with something with door freezer, and we decided not particularly steam. They cut out the right size plywood rectangular in shape and attached to the small loops.

As a result, the refrigerator began to look no worse than import all together, and he works to this day and will give odds on cooling and safety products to any two-door Ariston for 60-70 thousand.

By the way recently seen on Avito that such a refrigerator sold already for 65,000 rubles mind too renovated, only yellow. Apparently, this refrigerator is not only a good machine but also a valuable copy of the Soviet era.
