advice on making money from an alloy please

It's been refurbed twice so no longer road worthy imo.

Is there any money in scrapping it?

Any advice warmly welcomed.

Thanks

    aluminium 50p a kilo. Alloy 8-10 kilo.

    your alloy is likely to be a blend of different metals so would be priced by the cheapest metal it contains.

    what is wrong with it ?

    if has been cracked or bent and repaired twice then get rid but if it is cosmetic damage then somebody may want it so stick it on E Bay for 99P and see where it goes

    Yes, but you'd only get a few quid.
