Peter, I did not open that up. I use that space under the rear closet for oil, oil filter, brake fluid, etc. storage. There is another space though above the rear closet that I have opened up. The small cubby hole to the far left has a wood backing, the extension of the divider in the closet. This small piece can be removed with a small fine toothed hand saw like a drywall saw but the teeth are fine, to give access to the entire top of the rear closet. Lots of storage space up there.
