There 'should' be paint under the sound deadener. There was on my car anyway.
13k!! I've been quoted that just for the paint work, body work on top (and even more than the paint job). Mind you, the body is shagged on my car.
Any pics of the bare body?? If you want to give yourself a fright, have a look at my cars thread in here, then you'll see what a butchered body looks like!!
