Heritage Restoration
Heritage Series D110 - 300Tdi Crew Can- LHD
Pre-Restoration
We acquired this Defender from southern Spain, where it spent most of it’s life working on a local Olive farm. While a little tatty on the outside (and inside), it serves as an excellent pre-restoration donor vehicle.
Strip Down
Disassembly of a vintage Land Rover Defender in preparation for preservation is a meticulous undertaking that involves careful assessment of each part. Beginning with the exterior, the body panels, including the front fenders, doors, hood, are methodically removed, ensuring they are cataloged for future reference. But for the most part, it’s two solid days of taking stuff apart.
Mechanical
There are a variety of mechanical components of a Land Rover Defender restoration. The most essential elements are the engine, gearbox, transfer case, and axles. These are all stripped down and taken to our machining workshop to assess what needs to be done for the next stage of the refurbishment. The engine and gearbox are typically completely rebuilt, with the axles and transfer cases requiring extensive service.
