Its only the wanabee roofers who use flashband.

Been busy instaling the Dynamat to the rear. Anyone building do it before you start building it up. What a pain in the arse it was removing everything in the back. Fitted closed cell foam on the other side of rear bulkhead to, cheers for the advice. Just got the front bulkhead to now. Here's a few pic's.

Just got back from a run, defo worth doing. I built mine purposely without dynamat just so can hear the differance. Now it's fitted in th rear, what a differance it makes to the sounds. Money well spent, so if your thinking about it, get some and install it. Unless your like me and need to hear without and with to feel it's money well spent.

Its been some time since l started the sound deadening as i've been enjoying the good weather and could'nt be arsed ripping the front carpets out to finish it of. That and wanting to put some sounds (music) up front and wanting to combine the two jobs if you know what l mean. Will start another thread shortly on how l put some music in without going to great expense. Anyway here's a shot of the front wheel-well and bulkhead finished of in a lighter in weight Dynamat from the back. Used a thicker Dyna mat for the rear as the engine is in the back, for those wandering what the differant colour was.

If your reading this one Paul, with your car at the stage it is would highly recomend doing it now before it goes to Garys, if your using any sound deadening.

Forgot to add instead of glueing the carpets to the wheel wells l used some carpet clips, work well and good for maintenance. Here's what they are
