if the weather is ok tomorrow i will be getting some work done. iv done the drivers floorpan and the holes in the back. and the other day i striped thr pedal box, steering system and the foam on the bulkhead.

will it matter if i dont put the foam back? it keeps water behind it and never drys out.

to be honest mate the foam is only there to soften the engine noise going into the cabin,i was going to take it off my cav but cant be bothered cos of the brake pipes,servo etc etc,might do it for next years show season though.

lots take the foam off because of what you say , but the engine noise is bad  so get a good sound system to damp it down
