Is nothing built to last anymore?

If they have been sitting in the Scottish weather and salty air all that time without being warned up
and fluids changed it would probably cost more than they are worth to get them airborne and off to a heavy-duty maintenance facility
Aluminium wires and engine don't like sitting there
