That's exactly what they were designed and built for and why they look the way they do , it was a great idea given the life expectancy of any transport was 2 weeks in the WWII warzone . Landrover looks sort of similar because it copied the idea of the less bolts the better for a quick fix . Armies throughout the world continue to use vehicles built on the same principal today . Compare a military spec Hummer to a civilian one , the majority of nuts bolts and screws on the army truck can been seen at a glance when every effort has been made to hide the same in otherwise identical civvy trucks .

They do this with tractors over here. It's impressive to look at, but from an engineering standpoint, it's not rebuilding. All the nuts are pre-loosened, fuel lines have quick releases, not to mention oil being non-existent.. The jeep or tractor is not in serviceable condition either before or after the build. But as a spectacle... It's a bit of harmless fun.
