Sound deadening a 306

[Niall]

Ok so got a bit more done today!

So to start with we need a nice big roll of cloud 9, some silent coat, a box of tools and some mechanical competence (if you have are missing either of the last 2, a rather large hammer will suffice!)

Cloud 9 and silent coat incase you don't know what sound deadening looks like




First of all we need to strip out the rear seats. If you don't know how to do this, not only should you not own a 306, but you are also a moron!
Firstly though, tea!



Had your tea? Good, I'm happy for you.


Strip out the rear so you end up with a car that looks like this. If your car is not china blue then it will probably differ slightly from the above image but the principle is much the same!

Remove the rear trim on the rear quarters and remove th shitty 'sound deadening' that put put in but don't bin it yet!

Take 2 sheets of silent coat and apply with heat as so! I'm fitting the silent coat in here as its a large flat surface which as I said earlier, will rattle!



Now, take your old deadeni g you removed, place on some cloud 9 and cut around it. Spray the back with a light covering of spray glue and fit. Also cover the wheel arch in it.



Now repeat for other side...unless you want a rather one sided sound deadened car... I wouldn't recommend it.

Next you want to do under the back seats. You need to remember that could 9 isn't very flexible so it needs to be put down in sections. Remove the old stuff, remove everything in the way and cut a piece to fit. I have glued it down but I have cut a section out where the pump is I case I ever need access....and it's a pug, so I probably will!



Next, need to do the wheel arches in the boot. This area is a no go really for cloud 9 so we will be using silent coat. Or you could go and ask the local pikeys to Tarmac it for you. What ever.....



Remember there isn't really any point in covering the whole thing as I explained in the beginning post. Unless you like extra weight and cost.

tomorrow I will be finishing off with the roof and floor
