its covered in sheet steel 1.5mm now the tunnel is 150-170H by 200 wide iam keeping it as big as possible so if i have to go to a stronger box it should fit.should lol i think.ive got the car on 4 axle stands on the 4 points and ive only cut the front bit out yet. iam gonna weld it all up then cut the back bit out to try and stop anything moving.
