Previous owner of our house had a large aluminium channel made out of chequerplate.
Think he used it as some kind of flood barrier for the driveway.
It's about 4.8m * 0.8m *2mm.
Got this kind of channel section _/----\_ if that makes sense.

Any suggestions?

S'pose that is the obvious answer.
Not needed in the last 8 years though.
Apparently someone used to block the drain with grass cuttings hence the floods...

Or construct a Defender body completely with it and buy some smooth alloy panels to go on the tops of the wings and bonnet. That'll stir it up in the 4x4 community!
Best answer!
Judging from the price of new chequerplate it's worth f-all as scrap
