The panels have a thermal, sound insulating material behind ,can be seen between the roof strengheners in one of the pics
makes the van very qiuet and solid sounding.

i take it that the carpet is applied with spray glue to the van panel

yeah, spray glue, the carpet is a stretchy type of automotive carpet, available in lots of colours, headlining is in a velour type fabric, with vinyl floor

That looks great,
Where can you get the stretchy carpet??? I couldn't figure out how you got it round the corners without creases
I would love to do that to mine, it must make quite a difference to the noise?
