Just a quick update on this one

Just got the car back and it is bone dry. As in 'crispy' dry. Not sure if that's a good thing... can picture my seat and dash leather cracking before the next weekend lolll

Thanks to Porsche for the tip! That dehumidifier technique is the way to go. I've rented the unit from a shop that specialize in renting all kinds of tools here instead of buying one, theirs had a drain hose so it made things a tad easier. I've left the car in my mate's garage nearby, set the unit on the passenger's seat, drain-hose coming out from the passenger door. That thing was dripping every 1~2 secs lolll
We had to mask/tape the door frame so to keep the car sealed as best as we could, took 8 days.

I swear the car goes much faster now. Bet there was 12,558 gallons of water trapped in that flooring insulation sponge thingy after all those 20 years.

Anyway, works well. Car is back under its cover. Promised myself this sh&* won't happen again
