Bolt and Nut Restoration - 1995
Defender!
This 1995 Defender 110 Station Wagon has been completely restored; a chassis-up,
bolt'n'nut restoration with a touch of upgrades and modernizing accessories. We
can say that this is the finest example of the Iconic Defender available in the
country. This Amazing Defender will be Listed for Sale under Rovers 4 Sale very
shortly. If you would like to see the car in person, it will be shown at the
Ancaster British Car Show on April 17th.
Click here to see the full list of work completed by
Charles.
More photos and details about this and other cars, and the work carried out in
the Restoration Shop coming soon on a new Web Site. If interested in learning
more about the craftsmanship that we put into restoring Series 1 through 3's,
give Brian a
call.

Rover In
My Rear View
To "E" or Not To "E",
That is the Question.
Is Electric Conversion a Fad, a Fancy, or the Future?
Over the past couple of years, we have been asked what our opinion is on
converting Classic Land Rovers to Electric. We think it's a great idea! But,
with that said, it comes with a significant amount of questions, hesitation, and
head scratching.
Every
morning, on my 20 minute drive through the country from home to the shop, I see
at least one Tesla, occasionally other EV's, and many Hybrids. So we can assume
that electric cars are here, here to stay, and over time, most likely
out-numbering the traditional Internal Combustion Engine powered cars that we
grew up with. It's not a Fad. And full disclosure... I do cringe everytime I
fill-up the old fuel-thirsty Range Rover.
Things are going to change.
Our
near-future actions may be the result of the rising cost of gas and diesel, the
serious implications of what we have done, and are still doing, to the
environment, or, as trivial as this may seem, the irritating oil spots on the
driveway. Keeping the old gas or diesel engine running has a cost. Keeping our
Classics on the road may require a costly conversion. And conversion is costly.
Looking into what our Restoration shop may be able to offer in the near
future, converting a Series Land Rover to Electric will range from $60,000 to
$150,000 CAD, or more. To some, that equates to a whole lot of fill-ups at the
pump. To others, it's simply the right thing to do, and it extends the life of
their Classic Land Rover for many, many more years. It's always the value, as
seen by the driver, that determines what we will be driving in the future.
I can see me driving an Electric Series Land Rover in the near Future. If you
"Fancy" driving an Electric Classic Land Rover, give us a call or send us a
note.

Adventures!

Turning a rough looking old wreck
found in a field into a head-turning Land Rover dream machine takes a
lot of work and ingenuity. Barry and Karen did just that, and found
themselves as the center of attention and prize winners.

An Artistic Dedication to 3 Brothers
and one of their Classic finds
A
few years ago, one of the 3 Brothers decided to try his hand at some
"artistic" work, combining his welding skills with his recent foray
into blacksmithing. Rich never imagined that it would turn into an
immediate success. It did, and his time was suddenly in
demand by galleries thoughout Canada.
Artistic sculptures made of s tainless steel, antique
square nails, copper wire, stone, and
glass were flying off the shelves faster than his torch could heat up
the next piece of metal.
But Rich did take some time to create a special
piece. As an anniversary gift, Peter's wife commissioned Rich to
produce a sculpture commemorating one of the the
3 Brother's early adventures;
the bringing home of a Classic 1956 Land Rover Series 1 107"
Station Wagon.
That's Peter behind the wheel.

and Rich pulling)

do Bulkhead and Chassis Restorations

pretty darn handy when one brother has years of experience as a
welder/fabricator, the other has years of experience in paint and metal

complete restoration of his Series 2 bulkhead prompted the start of
something that we now offer to all. Full Bulkhead restorations.

Finding a 1954 Series 1 Pick-Up

Parts Department Chaos
|
Over the next month or so, our Parts Department is being moved to a larger
section of our building.

So if it seems we're busy, or a little short on the phone, it's because
we're up to our eyeballs in moving 60,000 parts! No one likes moving...

Covid Update!
|
Our Parts Department and the Restoration Shop are both Open for Business. Please
note that we are struggling with significant delays in importing parts from
the UK. This creates a slew of back-orders, a heap of computer work, and
tends to add to the chaos.

For the safety of our staff and ourselves, we are NOT allowing
visitors/customers on the premises. Stay Safe and Healthy Everyone!

Building Reno Updates!

Busy???
Darn right we are! If we missed your email or phone call, please accept
our humblest apologies. Even the fact that our web site updates go
un-touched for 6 months, is simply because we are busy with the parts
business, and busy carrying out renovations on the old building that we moved
into last year. Well, to be honest, no one likes sitting behind the computer
doing "web updates"... would you?

Aluminum, or (Aluminium depending where

ABS plastic panels
are perfect for the off-road adventures. They take a beating, don't corrode,
and when properly installed, are pretty darn hard to tell from the original
aluminum panels. But, that word "original" comes up once and a while, and a
lot of us like sticking with the original aluminum panels... and now we can.

Ottawa Valley Land Rover
Association Birthday Bash!

So
we've been told that we don't get out enough; that we might be a little on the
"Anti-Social" side of the crowd; loners even...
Well, after significant coaxing from
many customers, two out of three brothers headed out to the OVLR Birthday
Bash. And a "bash" it was!
We drove our '74 Series 3, (we call her
"Olive"), and Peter's Disco 2 for support and accommodations; more on this story
shortly!

Yes We've Moved!

It's Official! We've out-grown our three separate shops for the parts business.
Most of the new parts have always been stored at Peter's shop in Cambridge,
Ontario, and it's been getting a little crowded lately. So we bought a big
old building in Paris, Ontario and have been busy working on some major
renovations.

Dreaming Bikes at the Mid-Ohio
Vintage Motor Cycle Show.
|
Dave
and Rich have this thing for old vintage motor cycles. So, every year
we head down to the Mid-Ohio AMA Vintage Motorcycle show, races and
swap meet.
Peter is the only one that doesn't own any 2-wheeled modes of
transportation beyond a 10-speed bike. But, the camping is great!
After a few days of Vintage Motorcycle races and walking for miles
through the swap meet, you get to a point where having an old classic
bike just to drive around would make sense. Check out the photos here...
