The Wheels look very nice on the Van, conversion is neat as well
Thanks. Got the sound deadening and insulation arriving tomorrow (fingers crossed) so that is the project for the weekend. Ordered
2 of these sound deadening rolls Dodo Dead Mat Hex Roll – Dodo Mat
And 2 of these rolls of insulation
Dodo Thermo Van Liner Extreme – Dodo Mat
Planning on doing the whole van with exception of the floor.
I have used an app on my phone to measure the Db (obviously not accurate but good as an indicator) at 70mph. Without the seats it was rattling at 92 db.
Floor and seats installed 89db... keen to see what it will be after this stage.

Good evening all. Well I decided to get stuck in with the sound deadening and insulation. Not complete yet but halfway there. Should hopefully be all done this weekend.
I bought all the kit from a company called dodo. I don't have much to compare to but I am happy with the result. Total cost for this was £230.
All the kit needed. Inc the beers
Deadening is about 4mm thick

@Steve1978 Sorry to mention it after you getting so far on but it would be worth putting in some front to back cable ducting (with a draw cord/wire inside) in case you want or need to add other electrics later such as dashcam with rear camera. If you do this and you then use the cord to draw cable through, don't forget to draw a replacement cord with the wire
Yes, apparently I took too long insulating the van so he got his own tea.
Yeah that's a good shout. I have a camera on its way was just going to route it with the lighting but defo worth looking at a wire channel of some description

Corrugated tubing with any bends being radiused curves especially if you will be pulling cable with prefitted connectors. What camera are you going for?
