From Project Beast to Project Pedigree, East Coast Defender consistently pumps out some of the coolest Land Rovers out there. Project Venice might not have all the bells and whistles of other East Coast Defender builds, but it’s the upgraded classic simplicity that we like about it most. With a new convertible soft top, Chevy LS3 engine, Terrafirma RVS 16″ wheels, automatic transmission, Momo steering wheel, Corbeau front race seats and a touch screen nav with upgraded sound system, it’s equipped for everything from a short trip down the coast to a weekend getaway.
