  • Dave's got the lurgy so the staff run the channel this week and show you just how far £10,000 can go when giving a tired old Puma the Mahker makeover treatment!
    Here at Mahker, Land Rover Defender conversion and restoration is what we do. From our workshop near Whitchurch in Shropshire we bring you the most epic builds.

    Another great video - thanks guys! I would love to see more about how you are wiring your LS swaps. I have noticed some really nice touches like the custom ECU box and I think I might have noticed a custom holder for the relays and fuse blocks? Very cool stuff!

    Nice work.....but why not galvanize when you are stripping chassis for US market? Seems like a shortcut. And while you are at it galvanize the bulkhead too. Make the vehicle costing upwards of 100k last more than 5 years. And I know. I have just finished a 200tdi CSW after 4 years of work.

    • @wearemahker

      We’ve been told galvanise chassis are not allowed to be imported into the us.

    I once viewed a brand new Defender, it was already showing corrosion. The build quality is utter shite!
    Pretty much an ongoing restoration project. They can be lovely but serious money needs to be spent addressing build quality issues.

    Great video. Only request is you try and keep the sound levels in check. With headphones on it was hard to hear talking but music and intro was super loud.
    Also, did I hear that right? An 8 year old defender needed £10k of maintenance work‽

    • @wearemahker
      @wearemahker  3 роки тому +1

      Sorry about that, will get that checked.
      Not £10k of maintenance, it was upgrades, making it even better

    Great work and great vids. Inspiring to see another former booty build a fabulous business with a world class reputation. I'll be popping down there with my landy in the near future for some cool upgrades. Do you do any Puma Euro 5 to Euro 6 conversions? Got the dreaded ULEZ being imposed on me in the very near future.
