The case brought this time is not just a simple tuning. The body chassis of this Land Rover Defender is completely separated for reprocessing of the frame. Scratches to ensure the safety of the chassis for long-distance crossings, and enhance the corrosion resistance of the body.
Such a vigorous modification plan still comes from the famous East Coast Defender (ECD). This Land Rover Defender 110 took its first anniversary to complete. Engineers are very careful about every component, stainless steel Borla exhaust system, external roll cage, fully upgraded brake system, and even every bolt and nut have been carefully considered. In addition, this Defender also modified the radiator and stainless steel brake fluid and fuel system lines. However, ECD said that the above is only a flash in the pan, and the biggest change of this guard is also the highlight of its engine.
The original car engine was replaced by a 5.3L Chevrolet LC9 V8 engine with a maximum output of 320 horsepower, matched with a six-speed automatic transmission, and such power was transmitted to the wheels equipped with all-terrain tires. Looking at these configurations literally, there is no doubt that they are not at the same level as the original guard.
One year’s time certainly can’t just modify the chassis and power, and of course a lot of effort has been spent on the interior of the body. A reversing camera, navigation and LED headlights are the basic additions, and the rest includes the KenWood infotainment system, which supports Android Smart and Apple CarPlay connectivity. The combination of classic seats, steering wheel and the above new technologies is also one of the meanings of this modification.
The person in charge of ECD said that the previous modification program has a code name, and this Land Rover Defender is Project Kingsman. All of the above modifications are purely handcrafted, which is why it lasted for a year.
