Insulating my metro

Ok, so I live in a place that sometimes sees the temp drop to -35 (doesn't matter c or f, that's just f-ing cold), and I would like to decrease road noise too. Since I have the carpet up anyway to get at the wiring to the fuel tank, I thought I would do some insulating. I am wondering if anyone out there has done this? So far, the best idea I have is to use fiberglass since it will be the best choice for inside the "walls" and doors. I would like to use something for the floor that will fill in the "valleys." Any ideas?

A popular and inexpensive product to use is called "Grace Ice" insulator that can be found a Home Depot. Alot of people use it also for sound deadner because "Dyna-Mat" is alot more expensive.

Sweet! I was thinking along the same lines as Jai but for sound-deadening purposes. Now once I have my car up and running again I have an alternative to dynamat. It's not only expensive, it's damned heavy if you need to cover a lot of space.
