    Funny you should mention the GM sprayers. I just tried them to see if they would work and it turns out that there isn't enough room between the wiper arm and the blade itself. There probably is a way to do it but I think it would require modified the sprayer.

    Nice spoler by the way...

    Blue and orange are direct complementary colors. Red and green are complements of each other. Check if orange pinstriping will work out on your blue Festiva. Do you have factory tinted glass in it?

    Very nice car you have there! I like the red spoiler on the blue car! Even if it is only on there for test fitting

    unfortunately it was something I did before I Joined the site and just never finished so I hadn't thought of taking pictures of the process but I can walk you through it. I'll take some pictures of the new hose routing once i get the wipers hooked back up.
    Its really pretty simple track down a older pete that has sprayers on the wipers, cut off as much of the hose as you can (you will need this later) and unclip the sprayers. Take some black rtv and fill the hole on the very end (you still want the one pointing toward the window open) clip the sprayer on you wiper, run the hose down the back side of the wiper and through the spring (you may want to use a small screw driver to help you) you need to remove the hose from the center of your hood, purchase a T fitting for air hoses that fits the stock washer lines (I cant remember what size it was but you can just take a peice of hose with to the store) you need to run the new line through the cowl and up next to the wiper transmission ( the pictures will better show this) if you got enough hose off the pete you dont need to buy any more hose

    started a topic Some recent work on the Tin Can

    Some recent work on the Tin Can

    I installed the washer hose through the wiper spring and installed a washer nossle off a pete, had to seal the end of it to keep it from shooting streams over the car though


    I also did some painting - everything sealed with a Matte sealer

    Installed the euro lights and test fitted the spoiler before it gets painted, I forgot to take the picture of them but you can barely see the power mirrors.


    I'll be starting to install the A/C soon - I've already test fitted the condenser
Working...
