and here are some pics of the project itself. it was pretty beaten up when i got it




more pics up soon since i just did quite a bit of work yesterday, new side fenders hood bumpers etc.

yeah those front ones are gonna be quite the challenge, and i have to remold a hood so it will fit, but i think it will turn out great!
well here is some pics of what i've done so for...



the side mirror got wrecked from my buddy. i was teaching him how to drive stick and he tried backing up and side swipped the fence lol.


and for this last one the wiper blades are always set pretty high, so how do i set them lower so they are at the bottom of the windshield???? and the back one doesnt work, anybody ever change one before? is it hard?

The front wipers are on a small toothed spline for which you have to remove the wipers and simply move them to what posistion you want.

As for the back it could be a number of things including the wiring to the motor or the motor itself, swapping the motor is not a hard job atall

you dont have to mess with the rods underneath,at the base of the wiper arm itself there is a single nut which probably has a press on cover over it,take the nut off then pull the wiper arm off the spline and readjust where you like,same on the back

the wiper arms may be stuck on there really tight. Don't be afraid to use lots of force and wiggling to get them off.

its a 14mm spanner you will need, just put some pressure on the bottom of the wiper arm with your thumb, so when its undone it keeps the pressure even on the spline, then lift with the other hand, this will stop you trying to lever it off and break things
