What Troy has quoted is correct, although down here $2000 is probably bare minimum Hence why I can't justify spraying mine as a daily just yet...

Are you going to put the fibreglass stuff back in ? Will keep alot of heat and noise out of the cabin.

then spent the rest of the day around at try this' place where he helped me/ kept me motivated to do bog and sand the front bar and I can happily say the god damn front bar is almost finished, need to get some little sanding wheels for the drill so I can do the lights properly other wise I'm impressed with how well it's coming along. also re bogged the join on the side skirts

more front bar progress. now I know this may seem odd to some of you considering that I'm spending more time on the body kit then the new motor but this is due to waiting for big red el's fiancé to be able to help me with it,

anyway front bar, I'm planning on getting the top section completely finished so I can bolt it on thus allowing to me sand the underneath easier and also taking up less room

Yeah I ripped all that s**t of mine too! It looked like crap. Only problem is, its louder inside now (as you said)
Is there any heat resistant sound deader that's available to go on the firewall??
Only other option is Dynamat but you would have to pull the dash out /: surely there's something that cna go on the firewall that will look neat?
