Discovered this set of photos back before we tore apart a bunch of Defenders. Goal: get back to at least have this level of organization Defender restoration is a messy business. But I will take this hands on transparent build process over a polished showroom and overpriced builds. What would your ideal workshop contain? #defender #landroverdefender #landrover #defender90 #defender110 #defender130 #bishoprook #lifeofadventure #4x4 #defenderrestoration #overland #boxycar #landroverseries #classiccar

Project Snow. One of those special builds where we put a lot of extra work into to make it the ultimate Overlanding vehicle. The task was to make it tough and rugged, but able to drive across country on a moments notice. Finished in Alpine White with satin black accents. Custom gullwing rear windows to allow easy access to camping gear. Fitted with a custom rear storage system, rooftop tent, and a few other extras. Converted the interior to a Puma Style dash featuring a custom heating and air conditioning system that kept us toasty warm while out snapping photos. The new caretaker was planning on camping the first time on his drive home from the Minneapolis workshop. #defender #landroverdefender #landrover #defender90 #defender110 #defender130 #bishoprook #lifeofadventure #4x4 #defenderrestoration #overland #boxycar #landroverseries #classiccar

Another trip around the lovely and tropical city of Renville, Minnesota. We've got several workshops, but this one seems to have the least amount of rule enforcement around the area. Or, maybe it just comes from small towns in the Midwest just being human and really great to live in. #defender #landroverdefender #landrover #defender90 #defender110 #defender130 #bishoprook #lifeofadventure #4x4 #defenderrestoration #overland #boxycar #landroverseries #classiccar

Project Steel finally made it from the Salisbury workshop. She might like the cold - started right up on the first turn after sitting at ports, on the boat, and in a cold trailer for the past few months. A few tweaks and final testing and she’s off to her new home in Door County. #defender #landroverdefender #landrover #defender90 #defender110 #defender130 #bishoprook #lifeofadventure #4x4 #defenderrestoration #overland #boxycar #landroverseries #classiccar

When this Camel Trophy Defender was sourced over a year ago, it wasn’t eligible for import. We happily stored it in a secure container at the Salisbury Workshop eagerly awaiting her 25th birthday (last week). Now that’s she’s eligible for import to the US, we’re going to take it through the process of re-commissioning and taking her out on one last English adventure. #defender #landroverdefender #landrover #defender90 #defender110 #defender130 #bishoprook #lifeofadventure #4x4 #defenderrestoration #overland #boxycar #landroverseries #classiccar #cameltrophy

We hung our Bishop+Rook shingle many years ago and it has served us well. As we continue forward, we thought an upgrade was in order. Given our desire to reuse and repurpose as much as possible with our restorations, we took that approach with our sign. While picking up headliner material we noticed JoAnn Fabrics had some amazing post-holiday deals like this Holy Night decoration. 80% off the wood sign we needed for this project. Originally $34.95, we paid $5.74 (plus a coupon). A little sanding, drilling, and we were set to go. How did we do? ***** #defender #landroverdefender #landrover #defender90 #defender110 #defender130 #bishoprook #lifeofadventure #4x4 #defenderrestoration #overland #boxycar #landroverseries #classiccar #workshop #workshopsign

Sopris II has been living in Colorado for a bit - enjoying the snow and mountains. She’s going to come back to Minnesota for a bit and we’re excited to see her again. #defender #landroverdefender #landrover #defender90 #defender110 #defender130 #bishoprook #lifeofadventure #4x4 #defenderrestoration #overland #boxycar #landroverseries #classiccar
