How we work

KNOW MORE ABOUT OUR RESTORATION PROCESS

CHASSIS

Starting with the chassis, the restoration is fully frame off. The chassis is sandblasted before primer powder coating is applied to improve adhesion and rust protection, and then a black powder coating cover is given. The entire powder coating process, including all minor pieces and metal supports, is done out at near 400 Fahrenheit.

TRAILING ARMS

Trailing arms are Galvanized and all the new bushings are made in Polyurethane for a better feeling. We offer as an option Terrafirma 3ºF and 30ºR degrees trailing arms for better performance in the lifted builds.

AXELS

The axels are completely refurbish, sandblasted and powder coated.

TRANSMISSION

“Ashcroft UK” refurbishes the Transfer box. We improve their design to be more resistant, for a more heavy use, more potential leak prevention, and bespoke ratio so it fits better with your Defenders use, tire size and so one. Ashcroft Gearbox and new driveshafts are installed too.

STEERING BOX

Our partner “ASISTIDAS MANZA” is the number one in Spain in all kind of Steering box bespoke works and renewed steering equipment’s, so they bespoke the Steering box following our requirements. All the joint balls and steering bars are replaced and we offer some heavy duty steering bars options too.

ENGINE

All the engine internals are new and tested, as well as the mechanical components around, the Injection pump, Turbo Garret, oil and water pumps, cooling system, hoses and flanges and so one.

200TDI and 300TDI engines are tune by us for best performance working with the fuel injection pump, cylinder heads and using sport exhaust. The improve in hp and torque is remarkable during all the RPM range, and with the bespoke transfer ratio and tire sizes combination we achieve the best balance you are looking for.

BRAKES

New pistons, seals, pads, rotors, sandblasted and coating calipers, stainless-steel brake lines and brake pumps are installed using OEM parts. We offer some upgrade options as ALCON brake kits or EBC rotors for best performance when the clients are looking for a future LS3 engine swap.

SUSPENSION

Depending on your final goal, we work with Bilstein or Terrafirma 4 stage shocks. And for the springs, we do Terrafirma or Eiback, standard size or +2” lift for on road use and Fox suspensions for off road use. Polyurethane bump stops are used to improve the comfort in the most demanding situations.

EXHAUST

We offer three different exhaust options:

  • OEM
  • Middle sport stainless-steel exhaust with muffler supressor.
  • Fully stainless-steel exhaust.
HEAT/AC

Webasto AC units with a specific bespoke build to fit 200TDI or 300TDI engines.

They are very powerful units and don’t take to many space from your knees in comparison to other competitors. The Head exMoor seats in combination with the new OEM head system, takes care of you during the winters too.

Body panels

All the body is taking a part, new rubbers and rivets are installed. We are experts in “mig welding” aluminum, so we replace all damaged floors, boxes under seats, pillars or panels when is necessary.

Doors

We always replace the doors of five and three door Defenders with brand new ones. Thirty-year-old Defenders can have rust in these parts, so for this reason we always put brand new doors and work to achieve the maximum flat surface for best painting results.

We constantly strive for the highest quality finish, so even with new wheel arches and doors, we always work with them.

Roll Cage’s

Our Roll Cage’s supplier is Safety Devices, same manufacturer as the NAS Defender Roll Cages imported to the USA by Land Rover. Our D90 Soft Top’s most popular options are L188 and L236.

Hinges & Handless

We always replace the OEM hinges and use innox screws, we also offer as an option “OPTIMILL” hinges and handless to improve the feeling and quality.

Insulation

We always cover with “CTK Premium” insulation material under the front floors, Gearbox Bridge, doors and engine bay area in front of the bulkhead. In addition to that we offer fully insulation options for hard top D90 and D110 that cover the full body.

Underneath the body

We use a heavy-duty black paint under the body to improve longevity and protection.

Gross and Mate Colors

As a result, we are used to deal with very special colors, from AMG, Porsche, BMW Individual, Audi RS, working with unique colors that makes your Defender truly special.
