years ago, a fellow on the list (Matthew Bulley) did the sound proofing to
the extreme, first if I recall it correctly on a Bus and later on a
Vanagon. The domain was lost (http://www.bulley-hewlett.com/VWindex/
<http://web.archive.org/web/19990508050731/http://www.bulley-hewlett.com/VWindex/>)
but was recovered under
http://www.shagadelic.org/VW/info/gmbulley-soundproof/. But this link is
dead too. There is some info of this
http://www.type2.com/library/heat/intrir1.html and
http://web.archive.org/web/19990508050731/http://www.bulley-hewlett.com/VWindex/.
If i recall correctly, he did take the bus apart later and noticed
unexpected rust probably due to choice of material he used. that was in
2008 and you should be able to search for his name in the archives.
