Classic Land Rover Defender | West Coast Customs

Our client wanted to keep it classy and put a new school spin on this old-school ride. With a custom modern interior and a fresh take on the exterior, this Defender is already turning heads.

Nothing better than a Classic LandRover Defender......You should do more of Classic SUV's ... Much Love from Kenya

[@Furrrburger]

That hardtop really makes it pop.

[@noorulhameed]

i woudnt mind if the videos are twice as long... i love you guyz

[@paulfindude8743]

I love that they use Black Rhino rims. Badass.

[@Gmh6477]

Looks like a pretty basic defender here in the Uk, guess there pretty rare in the us though. wider arches which would have looked better with those wheels

[@StephenFogarty2023]

I think the previous generation Defender was only sold in USA from 1993 to 1997. Older Defender are very scarce in USA. Totally different situation to the UK

[@PowerstrokeSynd]

Please lower the music to the level of the voices! PLEASE 🙏

[@CHIEF_420]

[@vineshen3599]

We keep asking for this on every video but the cake of a video editor doesnt listen.

[@The_Browning_]

@@TheDogGoesWoof69 As long as the owners happy no one cares about your opinion. That’s the beauty of vehicles

[@JOEJHN]

​@The_Browning_ it's not that it doesn't look great its that they use expanding foam but don't show that in the video, the builds they make don't last, the craftsmanship is off, they never show you up close for a reason.

[@willmatic84]

Another one bites the dust you guys pull it off again like always love it looks very clean 👌

[@PetersonLuiz-i4z]

Boa tarde congrats vai amén bom trabalho

[@paulmshanga3310]

Musa!! it great to see that you guys are still making magic together ❤️ ✨️.

[@Martin-jp5bw]

Beautiful work

[@red9zero]

Nice work. Could have fixed the front side light though 😄

[@aphnotshuma7731]

They killed it this is one of one

[@dominicharriott9771]

SIMPLE BUT AMAZING

[@MikeSmith-cy7jw]

Simply Beautiful!!!

[@lucasszymanski114]

looks awesome.

[@MhsinAissani-db4wr]

Hispanics are hard workers❤

[@velvetmedias]

Beautiful !

[@danielthompson803]

Can't believe you guys didn't update the lights! Looks great but the lights!

[@franklincedeno6952]

super. increible saludos desde Ecuador

[@reuv_jr]

The sketching and the rendering tho 👌

[@6mlt]

I'm surprised you did this with an NAS defender. Those are much rarer and worth much more, even in the US. It would be a lot cheaper to have got a UK spec defender and put a V8 in it.

[@neilk22]

Completely agree, to convert the rare soft top version to a plain hard top 90 is going in the wrong direction value wise. Love the end result nevertheless

[@sivagurunathanparanitharan4714]

We are so keen to see the finish product in detail, not just how is running via town in dark twilight time, We knew it will run for sure since it has a motor; but the cream of the cake is how have you complete it? how does its looks like a refurbished new Defender? that is what most people are keen to know. Good Luck buddy 🥂😊🙌

[@lowlandsstudios6575]

Really nice!

[@dorcasroopinia1155]

Keep the old models, they are the most beautiful ❤

[@adamnelson1809]

love when its got just the right K.I.S.S .. keep, it, stylishly, simple. (kiss)

[@Gfunk0087]

Build by RAZA! ✊🏽🇲🇽

[@Saintflow]

the car looks great ....good job guyz

[@pierrorls5311]

Looks amazing !!

[@simonblanco4864]

Great work, build. I prefer hard top.

[@MaliceTM]

piece of art!

[@moksetharous9639]

Nice work guys W😃W 👏👏👏

[@NASTYcraftX]

Wish they would have done body work to it. The driver side looked like the surface of the moon.

[@tomjet1000]

Awesome interior guys, don't want to know price tag😬 should have gone for full led lights on the Landy I can see that there is already one burned out ( front left day light )......nice job 💪

[@STP.07]

Awesome video guys! 😎

[@Nakedbilove408]

I love Land rovers ⭐✨🌹❤️🌹💋

[@Krav57]

I have one.. Good to see the client didn’t decide to all out “west coastimize it” madness with some crazy suspension and oversize chromed out spoke rims lights underneath nonsense.. making the truck totally useless.. I know this is very subtle build in the WC world.. But a clean build none the less..

[@janrebenschutz7315]

Very cool Car

[@rc70ys]

Love it !!!!

[@awalk5177]

I'm old school, throwing a Defender down muddy lanes and down woodland tracks, dogs in the back, in and out all day and hose it out at the end. I can see how they like to be customised, but if you aren't wearing wellies or muddy boots then why do you need 4wd and diff lock? They just get stolen.

[@akampitsyahopatent1655]

Wow well done guys. The defender looks great and retains the defender looks. Leaves me wondering have you ever done a. Land cruiser 300 series manual transmission conversation.

[@N1CH0LAS007]

The real OG wagon

[@pratikkapur3801]

i think i am in love

[@hisclarkyness]

Given me some centre console ideas. Just need to add some tweed.

[@A.M.Customs]

Мексы шабашат в покраске 😂❤, молодцы

[@brentl4961]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@eduardsharedook6222]

wow amazing its a dream car !!!!!

[@stevvvvvvv]

100% that sub vibrates the whole centre console and everythin in it to an unusable degree but it looks great.

[@HeliRy]

Beautiful enough that we can forgive the wonky wiring job on that right turn signal 😂

[@UgandanAllstarTales]

how much would a fix /re design like this cost? im trying to find a way to send you my land rover from africa to LA

[@steveh5005]

That original rare Defender soft top looked really great. Hard top. So, so...many UK companies like Twisted & Urban have similar LR Defenders. Not my choice. Stick with soft top.

[@dlbm_industries]

Gaahhhdamn, it's so beautiful... Mr F, your gang make another masterpieces. From Russia with 🤝🏻

[@Autoglaze09]

great job watching ur vedios from pimp my ride and iam also working in same field

[@luisedwardsepulveda1794]

🇨🇴🥺🚙👍🥺Mi total administración, para esté gran Equipo de, "West coast Customs

[@blueskyfield]

### *IT WOULD BE COOL IF YOU WOULD SHOW MORE OF THE BUILD PROCESS*

[@vision2002]

The holes on that skid plate are sooo off. Hopefully that wasn't the actual part.

[@6mlt]

It was... Somehow they missed that none of them were even close to lined up. If you look at 9:37 you can see the dodgy skid plate.

[@maxwalker1159]

Sick

[@paulramsay6589]

Did you guys do the GoPro defender 110 build quite a few years back?

[@presidentasia3139]

nice

[@varghesesamuel9582]

This looks like the old Land Rover or Japanese Jonga.I expected a new version from West costs

[@VRT666]

My dream car, 🔥

[@fa-ajn9881]

Is there anyway to make these old vehicles safer?

[@purveshkotian5831]

Classy

[@Castiel_Pr]

👍🏻

[@ScubaGuy]

Nice design, but that front skid plate doesn't look substantial enough to weather any hits. Looks like someone just bolted a kitchen tray on to it.

[@T.S.T2014]

Looks great but would be better with the front bar back on.

[@FPGVlog]

Musa Tjahjono.. he is indonesian??..

[@edhaser5255]

What wheels bolt pattern and offset are these??

[@zyaminnyendwa4497]

A top light bar would have made the best finish

[@boystoysandadventure]

Musa iki wong suroboyoo.. musa kalo bacaa tlg bales yaa hehe.. yang indonesa mana suara nya nii

[@viacheslavbiryukov2289]

👍

[@l.ataylor9314]

It was shaved door handles On the last build lol now it’s the roof and glass

[@umbucheryl4623]

It's been a while

[@bigbartos1977]

Holes in the skid plate weren't evenly spaced out

[@NourMkoijn]

Can I install a 2018 Toyota Hilux engine on a 1995 Range Rover Defender?

[@michaelndungu5386]

🫡looks 👌 craazy

[@russellhulley8268]

Did West Coast Customs move to Mexico

[@stevepickering5866]

That skid plate would barely stop gravel, let alone an Immoveable rock…the UK Military Wolf Defender has a 6 mm tempered and reinforced skid plate bolted directly to the ladder chassis nothing gets past those…you didn’t work on any of the chassis weak points, steering and drag links, A arm joints, bushes, suspension…this is purely a beauty Queen…wouldn’t survive 10 minutes in the UK off-road scene - Please do better in future !

[@nicktansley171]

was going well until you put that non-oem roof and rear quarter glass on

[@OMGITSAAAJ]

F*** the G body! I want this

[@MYkeyS]

damn man them dimples on that skid plate are so off🙃🙃

[@aryw2345]

Koko musa

[@mufc7753]

Thank God for Mexicans.

[@RockyPonting]

That skid plate is criminally flimsy, over all nice build tho

[@kelvpoon]

Do I really want that much ply wood inside the car?

[@jacenickandthensome9284]

Funny that in the end its still not like the original rendering 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@homeroom101]

forreal what happened to ISH

[@jaydominguez7389]

Been a fan since I was a embryo... 🤰

[@ЮрийДонских-о5б]

Ничего особого я тут не увидил,розвели на деньги владельца,такой ремонт может любая мастерская и за меньшую сумму,позор вам вест коуст!!!!я ввас розачарован!

[@k-marmuzik6709]

Seems west coast has followed the us trend never b4 seem so much Spanish speaking persons on the show. # cheaper labour

[@darrenfoxwell2369]

Probably cheaper to just buy a new UK truck and ship it over, nothing special, pretty standard UK spec

[@DeonisDan]

Армяне УАЗики тюнингуют круче! 👆

[@dravidsingh8931]

Do something in india

[@jeremyspeller5713]

I don’t even know what roof you guys have put on this thing but it looks awful. No wonder you don’t have any close ups

[@melaninbotswana2474]

It looks basic to me

[@kingg1703]

Very boring,. Not a fan of black and All the shades So boring.

[@mr.clicknail]

Sick! are you hiring? 😛

[@cherandissanayake9530]

If you go to Europe or Sri Lanka they should have done a better job than this because Americans doesn't know nothing about defender modifications
