I don't know where to get original sound deadening panels however you should be able to get generic material from ebay to cut to size.......

If its like a lot of rst's i've seen be prepared to be horrified by what you find lol

Good luck

Rob,

to remove the carpet take the front seats out and possibly the back seats then remove the side stips from near the doors and then the carpet is usually hooked behind the dash oh and take the centre console at the handbrake surround off.

you also need to undo the front seat belt bars at the bottom as the rear part goes through the carpet
