As for removing the central tunnel - my uneducated guess would be that you'd have to compensate with other high beams or beef up the beam's section at low level. I've been thinking of three longitudinal 25x25mm rails. Two as high and wide as possible under the top of the sill and one as low as possible. short upright tubes join all three with triangulation in all planes.

and here's a genuine 206GT - see how broad and high the sills are

Yes Ross that is a deon gt chassis. It was just to show the tubes they used.
