Basics:
Here’s what is included in our ‘Build your Dream’ custom build Defender program:
Exterior
- Choose your color: Top quality custom paint finish (Spies Hecker, used by Mercedes and the Formula one), inside and outside Encompassing two layers of aluminum primer, base coat, color coat, and clear coat
- New doors: We replace all doors with new ones to prevent the well-known problem of galvanic corrosion in the old doors
- All body panels are sprayed separately. And we don’t like filler, so new body panels are used where needed
Body off restoration
- All our Defenders are built up from scratch. The entire Defender will be teared down until the last bolt and nut
- Replacement of all bolts, nuts (Grade A4 stainless steel) door + window rubbers, and seals.
Wheels en tires
- Choose your wheels and tires: 16″ Sawtooth, Boost Alloys, etc. with BF Goodrich, General Grabber, Good Year, or equivalent. All brand new.
Chassis
- The backbone of the vehicle: Often under-valued, the chassis forms the backbone, and therefore the basis, of the Defender. It is an incredibly important component, and that’s why we ensure that no spot is left untouched. The complete chassis is sand blasted to bare metal, rust treated (internally and externally), epoxy primer coated, and finished with two layers of heavy duty industrial paint, to ensure the best possible protection.
Technical
- A large amount of technical work is done to make sure the vehicle performs as well, or even better, than when it left the factory. Here is a glimpse of the mechanical work performed:
- Transmission: We will install a new clutch system including heavy duty fork, bearing, slave, and master cylinder
- Brakes: We rebuild the whole brake system with new parts, including brake pipes, cylinders, AP calipers, vented disks, pads, shoes, and hoses.
