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.

Wow. Someone needs to save that before it rusts any further.
That looks worse than the 45 Jeep we used on the farm that I sold back in 06. The guy took it apart and decided the body was too far gone. He fabricated new body panels, fitted it, and then had it all powder coated. He doubled the power of the 4 cylinder on the rebuild. He had over $35k in parts and material and spent 4 years with countless hours of his labor on it.
A couple of young cousins have two 1940s jeeps. Rusted like all get out, they're exploring what's the littlest amount that works and is still drivable.
No lights, no brakes, the clutch skedaddled years ago. The steering wheel works, mostly. 1st and 3rd gears still work if ya can catch 'em.
looks like a yard art display
