Do you have anything to help me get it into a Mazda pickup? If so, what are you doing Monday?

I was scrounging parts off my parts car and decided to take the cowl panel and the wiper motor off before they get stolen. Thought I might clean up the wiper motor and assemblies to put on my recently painted stock restoration '72. Just a perfect October Texas day with nothing else to do, I took the wiper motor and hooked it up to my '73 driver to see If it was in working order. No such luck! Well, I had nothing else to do, so I grabbed some tools and went to work. I'm no genius, and not an electical wizz, but with a 7ml and 8ml hard wrenches, some dental floss, and some axle grease, I had that wiper motor working perfectly in an hour. This process is so simple, you have to try it. First, take the plastic cover off of the wiper motor assembly. Next, take a 7ml wrench and remove the band around the motor for the relay. Next, take an 8ml wrench and remove the two 8ml nuts that hold the motor to the gear drive. you can now remove the motor stator (?) from the housing. Take some 600 grit sand paper the clean the surface where the three brushes make contact. I also sanded the motor surfaces to remove rust. Clean the inside of the housing (magnet) with some thinner and remove all lose corrosion by hitting housing on flat surface and blowing out housing with air gun. I used dental floss to hold the three brushes back in order to reassemble the motor to the gear housing. Before tighting the two 8ml nuts, remove the dental floss, which I tied around the three motor mounts to keep the brushes from popping out. I greased the worm drive and both bearing surfaces too, before the reassembly, so don't forget this. finally, I took the motor over to my '73 driver, and it worked perfectly! you might also want to clean all the contacts for insurance. All this in an hour. Go for it!

Think I'll just paint my faded and pitted centers semi-gloss black or charcoal. You can spend a half an hour polishing the lenses until they look new. I can't justify that kind of money for such an insignificant piece. Hell, you can carefully remove the center piece and ship it out to some place like Mr G's Mustangs, and have them rechromed.

I've seen it! One word; JUNK! Needs everthing. I'd give him $600, and sell the G-Nose front on Ebay to someone who likes that look. The G-Nose is junk too, and needs medical help. But, that's just this man's opinion. DK '72 perfect white stocker '72 pumpkin orange Turbo Tom automatic screamer '73 silver stroker 72k original

TexasZ DK240z up here in Denton. If you need a roller, I have a '72 (orange) That is pretty decent. All there, except bumpers, intake/carbs, and most of the interior(somebody stole all the above). Two of the wheels and tires are original type bridgestone spares! Have the title if you or anyone else is interested. Dog leg rust, right floor rust, and right rear quarter rust around filler door. Battery box good, along with rails and front fenders. Roof surface rusted from exposure. Just thought I'd let everyone know.

You can have mine for $5700. It's in Addison, in my mother's garage off Marsh and Beltline. Check out my gallery. It's the silver one. 73K original Texas car. Auto, but the pedals and Slave cylinder and lines are all installed, and the 5-speed is sitting in my garage awaiting installation. Engine is a work of art. Send me a PM if your interested.

Right on Gunner!
