That looks fab
Fitted ClimAir deflectors, and cab mat & rear rug from Fat Bob. Not sure about putting the step mats on, I have visions of loads of crud getting stuck around the edges.
Um so tried to use aviation snips to cut out the barn door panel and it’s not working.
Luckily it’s going to be a dry night
Van loaded up with the glass, ready for an early start tomorrow for help from my brother who has a workshop and lots of tools I can use.

I did my scuttle. Not an easy task but I certainly noticed the difference. Get some anti cut gloves before you do though, oh and you will need a pulled to get the wiper arms off.
The inner door cards aren’t as difficult as you think to take off plus deadening the door panels really does make a huge difference too.

Yes, with the rug as far to the front as it will go, the doors just miss it
Beg, borrow or steal a compressor, then use an air nibbler.
Thanks
Moved the blown air heater from under the bed;

Hole cutter for each corner then use a jigsaw. That’s how I did since I didn’t have a nibbler
You can get a nibbler attachment for a drill. Goes through it like a knife through butter with no sparks and no sharp edges left behind.
I used a fine metal blade on a recip saw for the reinforcing strips.
wow I guess my shopping

2nd the jigsaw. I didn't use a hole cutter tho. Just drill bits and step up until the hole is big enough for the jigsaw blade.
I used these blades.

Then these cheap and cheerful aviation snips to remove the excess.

Finally got around to sound deadening the doors. What an ar*e of a job.
And the scuttle, which was easy enough, apart from the wiper arms, which fought.
Alas I can't tell the difference in noise reduction, but the doors sound good when I shut them.
Guess I'll have to do the front floor and arches and see if that helps.

We did end up using those blades for the second window. Although still managed to snap 2 and bend 1…
Went through 3 T318A blades on the first window. Someone else in the forum had recommended them.
Those snips look good and great price! I paid slightly more for my ones (£16.99).
Built a new rack for my tools as got tired of my old rack system ( I'm in the flooring trade) give space for flooring materials. Liked the ovano / cadco set up so made my own to my requirements as don't need bulkhead and wanted it level with rear seat folded. Before..
