live rear axle

Hi,
does anyone know what the best place or donar car is for a live rear axle. I am building a ron champion stlye locost, but the obvious choice of mk2 escort is now both expensive and hard to come by. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Well I once heard that a Lada back axle was virtually the same dimensions as the Escort and has the advantage of far superior bearings in it and alloy finned rear drums. Also think that the Escort prop will fit if memory serves me correctly. You did ask for ANY ideas!!!
