Tidying up the rear

[Vanderman]

Hi stripped-down the rear removed timber dumped wheel arch covers carpeted over arches and timber panels ready for refit fitted foil insulation to walls and ceiling and floor,I'm about to refit panels but just wondering if I should have fitted sound deadening beforehand to the single panels.The rear of van isn't very noisy it's got bulkhead fitted the Tommyzoom covers so if anyone can give me advice on it's worth spending money on deadening mat's and how much different it makes

I bought a bulk pack of silent coat and did most of the floor and the single ply sections of the walls. Sounds a fair bit quieter and the doors make a bit more of a thud now. The bulk pack was around £100 so it's up to you whether you think it's worth it really.. I'd say do it, why do half a job!

Trying to get the hang of posting pics joe thanks for your reply have you bulkhead fitted

[Joepayne1]

Yeah, I've got a bulkhead but need to get the cover you've got on yours. Those panels look spot on, got carpet ready to do the same. If you have a look on my posts you can see the photos of what a bulk pack covered

Checked out your post joe v tidy caddy you have there ,great colour , if I do fit sound proofing think I do single skin panels on the sides ,doors and roof, can recommend the covers for grills on bulkhead helped with rear road noise
Need to get something to reduce engine noise ,

Did you buy those panels? or cover them yourself? I'd like to sort something out like that for mine. Cheers

Hi i just removed the plywood panels rounded the corners off and carpeted easy to do just cut carpet around panels leaving 50mm overlap spray plenty of glue on both surfaces then stick together

[PaulVW]

cool thanks for the info

[Vanderman]

Glued rubber sheeting to floor then foil insulation topped with 12mm ply

[Vanderman]

Installed sound proof sheets to side panels then foil insulation then refitted carpeted plywood panels and bolted tool vault through floor
Thinking about putting raised floor in so steps slide in underneath it but either way need to get floor carpet

[Vanderman]

Finally fitted the flooring its aluminium Matwell carpet think it looks well

Really like the carpet where did you get it from? And what sort of price should I expect to pay?

[Vanderman]

: It's the aluminium matwell like the door mat of a supermarket just off cuts I retrieved from the skip
From a site I was working on ,a bit like this one on ebay
