Galvanized steel sandwich construction

I've been toying with this idea of constructing a simple trailer using Galvanized sandwich panels.

By folding the panel ends, after removing enough foam, over a straight panel then riveting, would create a strong unibody box, complemented, similarly, on the floor attachment.

The thinnest panel I can get is 35mm,1 1/4" approx. Giving a weight of 2lbs/sq.ft, 10kg/sq.m.

What do you think?

I used to make and install cool rooms. We used to cut the thickness of the panel off the inside ski then cut the foam with a cheese wire to a mitre and mastic and rivet alloy angle inside and out.
Similar thing and worked well and thermal efficient
