The team at Bishop+Rook start the restoration of their latest Land Rover Defender 110 – “Project Blackwater.”
This French Land Rover Defender 110 came to the workshop with some very questionable paint and body work, but a smooth running motor. Follow along as we begin the process of stripping back the layers of ugly paint to discover what might be hidden beneath.
Seeing behind the scenes on a full restoration, including new experiments with a product from Cooper’s Strip Club that shows how to gently remove years of old paint without damaging the original body panels.

Project Ashe. This is probably one of the most dramatic Preservation Series Defenders we’ve done so far. While it was initially going to be be a quick respray and mechanical service, it ended up going well beyond that. The results are amazing, of course. You can see the original Donor Defender on the last slide.
We’re curious what people think of the Eminent Pear White and Black paint job?

This is The White Horse Inn near our new Kimpton workshop. Great food, a few rooms, and plenty of Defender parking. It’s a great place for dinner and a pint if you come to visit us.

We hand build Heritage Land Rover Defenders on a farm estate in England surrounded by horses and in a small town in Minnesota surrounded by corn fields. Sourced from around the world and given a second life of adventure, each Land Rover Defender is a labor of love. It takes time to do it the right way.

Finishing touches on Bertha before she heads east. A few post-shakedown tweaks after the test miles and preparing for departure. Nothing major, which is always a good sign.
