yeah, just spray it around the area. but be very aware. it doubles or even triples in its size. but once hardened it can be cut with a stanley knife.

its not going to be the best, but as its like the same principle as double glazing (ie foam filler is catching heat/noise lose inbetween the air pockets) it will drastically reduce the amount of road noise. as for the filler making it sound better, it should do. as the bass will not travel directly to the metal surface, thus reducing the amount of panel movement.
i would def recomend the loft insulation too.

down side is.....

mot time. you will find a screwdriver will be rammed into all over checking for rust.

Would carpet underlay/roofing felt be ok to use behind the dash and generally all over the place? I'm putting a mk2 dash in my saloon soon, and want to make it nice and quiet inside (tis a bit noisy in there at the mo!) so thought it would make sense to soundproof most of it at the same time. Any suggestions for best places to put soundproofing stuff would be appreciated as well...
