I'd try to use sheet steel .032-.040" thick. I think that would be a pretty 
good match to what's in there, assuming you can find some that has not all 
rusted away.

I hate to drill extra holes, but it might help. The first thing you should do 
is notice that there is actually a drain at the rear of that box, so make sure 
it is open. If you drill a hole, I'd bend things in that area so that the 
wheels don't fill up the box with sand and gravel.
