I don't think it is possible to remove the sound proofing intact - well not in my climate - it needs to be really warm for it to come off in larger pieces. Even then I reckon you'd just get some stubborn bits. I used a blow torch to remove mine, though I've been informed on BW that a decent hot air gun works too. In both cases wear a decent mask.

The sound insulation is available at the dealer but again it needs to be warm to be applied. Not a nice easy job in my opinion...

...I can see myself and others getting really frustrated with the stuff.

That rust looks worse than the rust in my car - I think you might be shocked at how little steel is left down there.

I can't really comment on values as most things here cost way more than they do where you are!
