Fridge "reclamation" project (pic heavy)

Lots of good pics of the freezer section would help.
It looks like there's a drain in the back right corner. Just can't tell.
If I could jam my face in it, I could figure something out real quick.
It's just too far away.

According to Google maps you're only 4 hrs 37 minutes away

Here's my thought, from a completely "ignorant of refrigeration properties" standpoint:...For most of the year, the area where it will be kept will be at house temps of 65-75 degrees so either the external controller won't kick in to run the condenser, or I can leave unplugged....for the summer, when it gets hot/humid around here the AC goes on so still should be in moderate temps, but when away from house, etc. the unit will need to be cooled...So, the condenser issue may not be that big a deal ....wait, let me adjust my rose-colored glasses.....anyway, I'll take a bunch of pics of the freezer unit and post 'em up soon

Is there are option to keep it in your basement? I keep my coolers in the basement and I've never seen it go higher than 70 degrees.

Maybe....but if it comes out "cool", I want to show it off!

It doesn't matter if the compressor only pushes for a few minutes, condensation will occur. It's just the way she goes.
Whether it's going to be a problem is a whole nother story.
Anything can be fixed.
A buddy of mine at work used to always say "it's impossible".
I'd answer him with "That's why we're here. You wanna go sit in the truck?"
Get them pics.
