Total respect for the work-ethic of the guys at Pon Steyn. Their attention to detail is just... perfection. I mean, for example, anywhere else in the world, you'd just get the choice of whatever was in the catalogue for the "Defender" badging. At Pon Steyn, they understand that all Bear's bar-work and fittings are matt-black and the badging needs to match... so they paint it! If they put that much effort into a bonnet-badge, you can be pretty sure the important stuff is going to be perfect too.

DTM - Direct To Metal. A mainstay goto paint in SA, but I guess you know that. I usualy spray it without thinners which gives a slight raptor liner look. ;-)

Greetings from Australia. Your decision to repair, modify and repaint was best. The classic Landies will always be loved. All over the world there is a band of people that are willing to put their Hart and soul into helping. I can't believe the craftsmenship that these two companies have with their workers. Especially evident when people from different ethnic backgrounds are working in harmony. I can't wait to see the finished product. Cheers.

@GrizzlyNbearOverland 9 месяцев назад

Pon Steyn is really famous in the Land Rover scene in Africa. We weren’t sure they would accept our project because they are so busy. Arno, the owner “knew” us from previous videos and agreed to take it on. Victitec was recommended months ago via a random message on instagram by a Landy owner from Cape Town. And we are extremely grateful for that.

@overlanderaden 9 месяцев назад

16:54 "What is DTM". (Direct to Metal). Many anticorrosive paintes are used as primer. Or, you need to apply any Anticorrosive primer on metal/steel prior to apply any finish color. But DTM, it is self Anticorrosive finish paint which will not affect by outsource exposures like UV, salt, contaminated or polluted liquids on roads. Good choice, but DTM should have been applied on blast cleaning surfaces. Otherwise, it will be detached from the substrate soon.

10:20 I don´t know why no-one uses the wholes from factory that are already in the PV panels? I used 40mm round steelplates with M8x20 bold inside those. THOSE are glued on my roof, just these 5 (per panel) 40mm plates with PU glue on my roof, the panels are than screwed. My rood is curved from the windshield to a more or less flat roof. (which is why I used flex panel in the first place!). holding up since 2018. The fastest I drove with this is a 120km/h (GPS, 20 more than allowed).

@sbGOM 9 месяцев назад

I know this is a boring observation, but how do you maintain registration on your Land Rover? One assumes the French registration requires an annual roadworthy or MOT type certification. Additionally, you are altering the vehicle's body shape and make-up, which, as far as I can tell, would require changes to the registration details of the vehicle. As I said, boring stuff, but I'm mighty curious about the legalities 😊.

@frankguernier2280 9 месяцев назад

From an Australian point of view the modifications to body would have been almost impossible with Design rules etc. To even change a seat in Australia you almost have to crash test the vehicle first for approval. The developed world has gone mad. I often wonder if Land Rover are regretting the decision to stop manufacturing the " Real Defenders".
