Trays full of silica cat litter also work to dehumidify.
Better make sure there are no cats around first

Cheers, the moisture isn’t in the air as I have dehumidifiers in the car but they aren’t collecting. The towel under the carpet seems to have done the trick

Had some time today to dry the carpets fully from previous water ingress and also to fix the rear panel.

Project Restoration Zed- Major step forward.
Major step forward in the restoration of project Z. Worked out via real OEM that the whole front panel doesn’t need to be replaced if the crash bar is bent as the crash bar and the attached legs are designed to be sacrificial. Made the job much easier as it was all simple bolt on/off parts.
Once off I swapped them for the new ones and all is now good at the front. You can see I had to use a jack to support the radiator during the process in case anyone wants to copy in the future- another bonus of not having to remove the full panel as then the rad would have had to have come out.

Already got Stuart's 2.0 and all being well this 2.5si I have here. Need a third and I believe yours was mentioned: if it's in budget.
Failing that, I have a few others they can pick from.

Project Z will defo be done by then so hopefully will work out as I’d love to see the wee zed having a great road trip. Would be very satisfying to see it being treated to such a trip.enuff_zed wrote: ↑Thu Apr 04, 2024 11:27 am25th July I think.paddy wright wrote: ↑Thu Apr 04, 2024 11:20 amShould be- only needs the bumper painted and a fresh Mot really now.

Looks amazing Paddy! As enuff_zed mentioned, we now have 2 cars sorted. The third team are still dithering over a Z4 or alternative - I have shared your project plus the options Martin has mentioned so they can take their pick if a Z4 is their decision. Fingers crossed they go for a Z4 as it would be great to get 3 in convoy, all obtained through this forum!
