We found a GAZ Army truck, Talbot Murena, Volvo & much more abandoned, can we save them?

In this video we make a start clearing the back yard so we can use it for storing the tank and military vehicle collection. In doing so we found many abandoned vehicles including a Gaz Aero, a Talbot murena, Volvo S60, Renault massif 4x4, Fordson major and many many spiders. Can we save any of them and will they drive from their resting places or will we need to drag them kicking and screaming from the nettles?

Dear @@fittermat Ah, okay, I understand! Therefore it was absolutely necessary to damage the GAZ even more. I tell you what: I should already have stopped this video after the dumb one spilled so much Diesel fuel so that the Diesel can soak into the ground and get into the groundwater later. Well done, guys, well done indeed! Maybe you have forgotten that we all are responsible for what we say/write/do, especially if we do it in public! Does no one of you have kids or grandchildren? You are really fine role models for them. Congrats! Best regards, luck, health and wisdom to all of you.
