And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
If you've got the "castings" (engine, transmission, transfer case), everything else is available in the aftermarket. Definitely NOT too far gone. Crushing anything before 1970 is a criminal act.
I call these Lazarus projects: been dead rather more than 3 days, and surely they stink.
The trick to acquiring things like this: watch the house for a while. typically He d4rives a pickup and she drives an SUV. long about Halloween, drop by on a saturday when both vehicles are home. ask him if the Lazaraus project is for sale. he always says no, Im goinf to fix it up someday. She shouts "yes! it's for sale"{ from the kitchen. tell him what the various systems will cost to replace, and leave
come back right about Thanksgiving. have 2/3 of the cash you are willing to pay on your person, in $20 bills, and have a partner carrying the other third.
she has been up his backside for a month, nag, nag, nag, and you fan out those twenties. if he won't bite, have your partner point out all the things wrong with it and refuse to "loan" you your own money. she watches you unfan those twenties and walk away, and he knows life will be hell if you walk away with your sheaf of cash.
Nah. Just a summer project.

That's just somewhat un-ethical...
DeleteBet that would work to get it. Never underestimate a nag.
