Our Process
Let's take you through the process
Ordering a custom built Defender from Brooklyn Coachworks is a simple process.
Step 1
Process Name
In designing our Defenders, we adhere to the philosophy of "less is more". From the beginning, these simple, robust, charming utility vehicles were never overbuilt, so our design process reflects that. The Defender is kept as close to its original design as possible while being modernized to meet modern needs. With our expertise, we can build the perfect Defender.
Step 2

A Defender will not perform better with a 3-inch lift and 37-inch tires. It will be difficult to drive, unreliable, and overstress the driveline. Since we've been testing and building Defenders for 20 years, we've developed the perfect formula for both on-road and off-road use. Our formula is to never overbuild the car but to improve it with the right blend of modifications.

Overview paragraph
The Build Sheet
Brooklyn Coachworks will provide you with a Build Sheet that details all options, accessories, paint colors, and trim details. We can edit this Build Sheet until you are satisfied with what is included with your restored Defender. Once we receive sign-off, we begin the restoration process.
Restoring your Defender
Brooklyn Coachworks will restore your Defender according to the Build Sheet specifications. The donor car is stripped down to its bare chassis. A galvanized chassis has been fitted with all new suspension components. The new bulkhead, doors, and body panels are installed after they have been painted. Our Italian leather interiors and all trim are installed during the third month of production.
Registering your Defender
Brooklyn Coachworks will register your Defender for you. Obtaining the license plates and title for your Defender requires collecting local state taxes. You will need insurance (Hagerty, State Farm, Progressive, etc.) for your newly restored Defender. Each state processes paperwork differently, so timing can vary.
Shipping your Defender
Brooklyn Coachworks will deliver your custom-built defender to your door. We use a variety of shippers, so you can choose an uncovered shipment that's cheaper or a covered shipment that's more expensive. All shipments are insured. There is a wide variation in rates across the country. A shipment to the West Coast can cost between $1,500 and $2,000.Rates in Florida can range from $1,000 - $1,500. All rate depend on the season and availability.
