Bringing old monument pieces back online would be a task of the most difficult order.

I recall crawling inside a couple in Hawaii outside a museum at Fort DeRussey.

Large sections of metal were missing inside, lots of heavy rust, most of the interiors were missing. Engines were one bit rusted piece of metal or missing, Weapons <main guns> missing the entire rear breach, or just a semiliar piece of pipe, not transmissions and sometimes not even real wheel assemblies.

And then we have the whole armor, often it was rusted and prepped for painting but full of holes and pits and patches that a good hit and the shock would have made the repairs useless.

And then, where does one get parts for such a thing? All would need to be handmade.

I used an example in my Ashes campaign, where the locals simply put pieces of plat metal at an angle on a towtruck and turned it into an armored car, then mounted a machinegun on it. Such a vehicle would be better suited to deal with the stressed of the armor and much newer and more reliable.
