ECR-1993 NAS Defender 110

Paint work, 4.6 upgrade and more!



This NAS 110 has come to us from New England, but is destine for a new owner in Texas. As this Rover was used year round in the northeast it had some rust and corrosion work that needed to be done, so the new owner sent it directly from the point of purchase to ECR, so that we could bring it up to his standards. The new owner also has a long list of upgrades he desires. That list includes such cool items as a new Generation 2 Pursuit 4.6 EFI V8, a rear disc brake conversion, vented front disc upgrade, conversion to R380 5 speed, complete rust and corrosion repair and a full paint job in the original Alpine White. In the image above you can also see that the 110 has had its external safari cage removed, as we are powder coating that satin black for a different look on the 110.

사진8 In this image you can see the small details that make the ECR 110s look so good coming together. The small parts that were removed for paint work have been fitted, and the wing top guards have been installed as well.

사진10 Speaking of Texas, this customer is a big fan of his football team, so he had us custom paint on the longhorn logo on the back of his new 110. When we say, "Our only limitation is your imagination" we mean it!

사진12 Here you can see that we have yanked out the tired 3.9 V8 and have started to strip it down and clean the parts that we will need to re-use on the Pursuit 4.6. The Pursuit 4.6 is a direct bolt in into this 1993 NAS 110 with NO modifications needed.

사진15 The Pursuit engine offers up its 275HP through a number of tricks. One of those tricks is the ability to get more air into the combustion chamber. In this image you can see one of the ways we do that. We fully machine and polish the intake and trum

사진18 This image shows the new rear axle assembly installed, giving this 110 4 wheel disc brakes.

사진19 Here you can see the new front calipers mounted with the new vented discs. These upgrades combined with the rear disc brakes give the 110 all the stopping power it needs, and it eliminates the rear drum brakes that need periodic adjustments.

사진20 Also installed was this full NRP stainless exhaust system. This will give added performance to the 4.6 engine and will last a good long time. NRP now polishes the tips on their systems for an even better look.

사진23 One last addition to the outside of the 110 is a simple brush bar that we installed for a little added protection up front.
