i get around 13-15p per kg for iron from the yards around here

non magnetic stuff tends to get a lot of cash

What engine and whats wrong with it?

maybe offer it to a garage for a small amount to entice them to rebuild it and flog it on?

A rusted heap I found when digging out a clay drier in my garden, not sure they rebuild that model  :wink:
