Soundproofing
I've started work in the back of the van now. First job was to take the panels off and apply sound-deadening (mixture of Dynamat Xtreme and roof flashing) to the metal panels to stop them ringing.


I then bought 10 sq metres of sound absorbing laminate floor underlay which claims a 23dB reduction in sound so this is also going in before the panels are put back in place.

The final step will be to trace round the old plastic panels onto ply wood and cut out new ones. I ordered a load of light grey carpet to cover the new ply wood panels in before they are fixed back in place. There should be enough carpet to also cover the headlining and floor so should look pretty smart once finished but I'm starting to realise what a massive job I've undertaken!
