Aluminium sheeting costs
Just rang my local merchant and he wanted £45 for a 1.5mm thick sheet and £90 for a 2mm thick sheet based on 2 sheets of 1.5 and 1 sheet of 2mm, think
the sheets were 2000m x 1500m.
Is this a good price? seems rather expensive to me but then again ive only bought steel before.

Dunno about the 2mm, but the 1.5 is the same price as we paid over a year ago

Think ill go for the 1.5 and just use steel 18g for the floor rather than ally then, ill just have to eat less takeaways to make up forthe weight
difference

but look on the bright side, the steel floor will become part of the car structure, the weight is low down helping handling and .... it has more
puncture resistance than the aluminium (although not sure how much if you're going up to 2mm ali)
