Sell them to some chap up the road. He takes all rwd ford rear axles.
I haven't got a clue what he does with them but he takes as many as I can get.

Sells them for parts likely.

Some of the diff ratios are in big demand for kit\track cars etc

CV's hubs and calipers all sell well on eBay and good estate shocks will sell for £100 each

I can make over £600 off a good rear axle ;)

I was guessing they were going to the kit car builders.
Around here I could pay anything from £40-£75. He gives me £150 an axle. More depending on the diff ratio. Its a nice little earner once a month, then again if I could turn each axle to £600 that would be something. Don't really have the time or knowledge for that. Just keep making little and often.
Anyway we have gone a bit off topic, get welding those window holes up :D

Won't take much to graft in some window surrounds, you give up too easy :)
