Can you put the carpet in a heated basp00get?

I can and with our fuel oil furnace our basp00get is super dry, like uncomfortable dry. Just have to wheel the table saw out of the way.

Can you hang it somewhere and put a fan on it? Probably dry it better than a dehumidifier..

I have two macho dehumidifiers that I bought for the basp00get of the new old house. One could dry anything out. I’m gonna try the basp00get first.

Get you some silica beads and suck the moisture out!

Where ever you hang the carpet to dry run a fan along with it. The fan helps a lot.
Especially in combination with a dehumidifier.

What dehumidifiers are you using? I need one for my garage.

I have a Haier that I have been very happy with. It is over 10 years old now and keeps on kicking.

Yeah, I have a dual fuel (oil, wood) stove downstairs, and I used to sleep down there as a kid. Always had nosebleeds in the winter from the dryness.

I wish it was that dry in the basp00get now...

I have GE dehumidifier from Home Depot. Been running well for a few years now. SF can be very humid when the fog moves in :)

Mine were both about $300 from Menards, they have pumps built in and dont need emptied.

The carpets moved into the basp00get and hopefully will be dry here very soon. I still need to change the transmission hump, hopefully this weekend.

Ordering a dash cover as my dash is the worst.

Finally found some time to work on the car, all of 20 minutes.
Now that I have a new heater box on the way I figured I better fix the only thing keeping the carpet from going back in when its dry. Its pretty much dry now.

I don't know that I have seen a picture of these two transmission tunnel parts together so here it is.

I had to pull back sound deadening to get to the bolts that hold this on, alot of it came right up because it had been wet so long. I went ahead and pulled up all the loose bits. I'll probably just use some peal and seal from lowes to replace the missing stuff. I had good luck with it in my Bronco II. So Hopefully the carpet and dash can go back in next weekend.

In my car, it appears that someone spilled some oil in the trunk, so when I pulled up the liner all of the sound deadener just came completely apart. I don't recommend using that method to get it out, but it was most effective.

So auto vs. manual hump?

Hopefully I got the right one when I bought it a while back. Not even sure where it is now

Yeah if you look at Erics cool cats page on the floor shift conversion he talks about mounting the shifter to the tunnel and it sitting flush with the trim plate. This is the plate (bottom one) that Lifts it up and make the shifter stand proud of the trim plate 3/4". What one do you need?

Pulled the car back into the garage tonight, I am tired of all the rain we have been having lately and the swinging temperatures. The carpet is dry so after some sound deadening repair it will go back in.

Now for the first set back in the whole project, this broken lower intake bolt in the head. Luckily it is on the end of the head and sticking up. I'll let it soak with Blaster for a couple days before heating it up and trying to drill it out.
