I am sure someone on here will have what I am looking for in theirs and save me a whole load of googling for measurements etc.

Having converted my hardtop to a station wagon I have lost all of my storage between the front seats and the bulkhead and I also lost all of the storage behind the rear side facing seats and the side of the tub. I have managed to get most of what was behind the front seats into the under seat tool box with some carful packing. However I had all my ratchet straps and tow rope behind the side facing seats. I do not have side facing seats in the back of the station wagon so I am looking for a strong sturdy box the correct size to be strapped to the wheel box in the corner against the dog guard to throw straps into. Without boring people with too much detail one wheel box has the pram strapped to it (the whole reason for converting to a station wagon), the main "boot" floor has what will be a very large dog on it (deerhound greyhound cross currently 6 months old), so the only space available is on top of the wheel box, and it cannot be any wider than the wheel box itself so as not to encroach on the dogs space (the pram already does this a lot on the other side). The boxes I have found an a very quick search are either very flimsy plastic storage boxes, or very very expensive aluminium flight case type things, there must me a middle ground!

I am also trying to work out how to utilise the space under the second row seats but it is a little low and an odd shape, so if anyone has an suggestions or pics of what they have done that would be much appreciated.
 
The lwb series models could be had with toolboxes in the top of the rear wheel arches, might be worth a look see.
 
Had twin ally boxes in the rear, I also had a lower tub box before I fitted the cage & truck cab. The box opened upwards
so couldnt open it with the dogs in.
I made a lower tub drawer system. Open the back door & it was caged so dogs couldnt get out
until I opened the cage door but I had access to the lower drawer with the rear door open.
Lined the tub arches & across the tub with 12mm marine ply/ full width sheet doesnt slide in so needs to be 2 pieces
or just short of each side.
I used 4 way stretch carpet & stuck on with spray glue. Sorry no pics. (cant find them) Even if you floored across the tub
without a drawer youd still have the storage below.
