I would say about 1/2 of the used vehicles and equipment I look at is somehow cobbled together. I really like the people that use a cutoff wheel to make a hole in the dash for their super stereo system. Cardboard headliners, like you mentioned the speaker wire for taillights or trailer wiring. Electrical connections twisted together with those plastic twist nuts or twisted and taped with Scotch tape, etc.

Tractors are great for "farmer engineering" which means using an old stick welder to repair tin or add on any "accesories" such as a two way valve welded to the light bar on an M, PTO stub welded to the belt pulley hub for hydraulic pump, starter spot welded to bell housing because the bolt holes were stripped, etc.

It's amazing to think that some of these vehicles were still on the road in the condition they were in!
