i liked the idea on strapping the tanks to the box. did you put any reinforcement inside of the box to hold the tanks in place?
 
Last week-end in my car (Peugeot 407) there were 4 divers and we had:

4 big bags with complete diving gear
2 tanks 15L + 18L
4 small bags with clothing for the week-end
1 bag of drink

I drive 800 km just to make 3 dives...the weather was not proper for diving.
 
Here's my Miata with 1 AL80, fins, mask, wetsuit, regs, BC, extra gear/save-a-dive kit. I usually squeeze a 2nd tank in there as well and still close it.
