My dad knows a widowed lady who was left a vintage Toyota landcruiser that the deceased was working on.
It was done up nicely but no engine and some minor things weren’t done.
She was fine with leaving it out in the weather to rust. She thinks her idiot son will eventually do something with it. The lady will not sell it for anything.
My dad was able to talk her into letting him keep it in a building of his.
there something to be said for the look of old rust...
but nothing to be said of letting a classic vehicle disintegrate before your eyes.
