Hi all, I'm starting to piece back my erst and have a few questions.

1. I took off the heavy sound deadening on the bulk head behind the dash. It fell apart and it stinked so it went in the bin. Do I need to put something in it's place. I was thinking something like dynamat but it's expensive and was wondering is there other alternatives or is it even needed?

2. There was some foam under the dash and this went in the bin also cos it stinked! Again do I need to replace this? What's it for?

3. There is some things like the heater blower box that had a foam sealer on it. Again this was manky and it's not making a good seal. Any alteratatives? Also the rear lights have a foam gasket. These need to be replaced. I was thinking on using some lined wooden floor underlay? It looks like the same stuff?

I'm not not a cheap ass and I'm trying to get a good quality build but at the same time trying to be smart in terms of where money is spent.

If anyone has any good cheats or used things not orginal used for cars please share.

Appreciate any comments. Cheers simon
