Defender Rescue Project – Blackwater Assessment + Stripping – Episode 001

June 26, 2021 in Defender TV

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.

Unloading a pair of Defenders. Always seems to be 20 degrees colder than it should be on days they arrive. It’s always a bit of fun finding new ways to unload a container.

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.

Sometimes it’s the simple finishing touches that make all the difference on a Land Rover Defender.
