Nice video of a Defender 90 being restored:

 

Nicely done. They did a great job!

 

Thank you for the video, man that poor Defender 90 was sunk DEEP!! That was both cathartic and educational, perhaps the MOST complete breakdown of the interior of a Defender I've ever seen. Assuming no major engine damage/flooding and these guys replaced any flooded electronic gizmos/ECU's and adequately cleaned the connectors on all the myriad wiring harnesses/connections....I wonder how reliable the vehicle will be in the long term.

These guys did an amazing job. The amount of labor must have been enormous. I wonder how many man hours went into this restoration? I now better understand why flood damaged cars are generally totaled lol.

 

I wonder how they kept track of all the various size screws and bolts. When I was a sales rep, I drove Honda Accords and put about 60K miles on them per year. They all had that same 2.2 4-cylinder engine so I did my own timing belt and water pump changes. I always put screws and bolts in ziplock sandwich bags and carefully labeled each bag so I knew what went back where. They would have needed hundreds of ziplock bags for that Defender restoration.

 

For sure, this is a very tedious job and one cannot help but wonder if they put all the correct nuts and bolts back in their proper space. I personally would never buy a flood damaged.

 

Ed Bolian or Tavarish would buy that without question! Bur any sane person would stay away lol.

 

It would have been totaled here in US .... 100%
The guy(s) is a wizard. Definitely not his first rodeo.
Simply amazing.
