we once chopped a transit up into bits with an axe on my front garden - small enough pieces to get in into the back of my other van :D

neigbours loved it :lol: got a car trailer since then but i'd do it again for a 4.11 diff :lol: especially if i was building a cossy :lol:

You can take the Diff out and the van will still roll.... :wink:

Why would you want the front hubs anyway......... :?

Scrap cars are £0 yes Zero per Tonne now..........

Scrap but re-conable 205 engines were £70 each.... 8)

Thanx for the offer of the shell....

The days of £200 per Tonne have now gone for ever... :(
