So I don't get it.
If the wiper motor is spaced even farther out, how does doing that keep it out of the engine bay?
And if it's to be relocated, it has to be under the existing sheetmetal that makes up the cowl.
Seems to me if you're putting a hole under the wiper mechanism through the floor of the cowl box,..you're asking for a leak when it rains or it gets washed.
Sounds like show car trailer queen stuff to me.
If I hated my little wiper motor so bad that I had to go through that much to try and hide it,...I'd do away with the mechanism ala race car, seal up the offending holes permanently, spray the glass with rain x, and never take the car out if it looked like it might rain, or hide under an overpass until it passes if it did.
*Edit.....
Dammit! I can see that in the pics it looks like the wiper motor is actually sitting inside the cowl, on the back side of the existing wiper mount point..so no hole in the bottom of the cowl...
Dammit! All of that know-it-all snarkiness on my part condemning this mod, and it looks like there is a way to hide that thing and still have a wiper motor after all...
Dammit!
I'll just go an sit in the corner now...
It'd been different if I was talking to you.Whoa, thats a first.
You could make a sheet metal cover for it, also. Not as pretty as hiding it, but at least cover it up if it bothers you seeing it.
Edit* You could also paint it blue, slap a little NOS sticker on it, and play games with noobs that see it.
Uh oh......you're slipping into a Terry rebuild. I forgot whom he visits mostly now, Corrall maybe? I'll watch what you're doing though, next spring I'll tackle my blue car's body. I have lots of dirty plans for it! Lol.
No wiper motor in the eb....damn you....one more thing

@Fordfreak93
I see you have all the holes on your driver side shock tower sanded down to the metal to fill them in. Two of the holes on this tower is for mounting the brake proportion valve if you plan on still running it. I accidentally filled them in and had to drill them back out when I smoothed my bay. Ultimately I ended up removing my stock style proportion valve for a MM delete kit.
This thread-https://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/threads/started-the-84-t-top-coupe.772468/page-8 post 143 @TurboFox shows the bracket he made to move his wiper motor inside the cowl
I posted the pics from that thread on the last page. It's the only inspiration I have, lol. I think I have it down, I might hide the bolts too, no turning back. I'll post up pics if it worksPage 23 of that thread has more pics of the bracket/mounting, and several pages thereafter with wider shots of the engine bay show the three bolts that attach it to the cowl.
The only thing I worry about with stick on mats is the PITA for paintless dent removal for small dings. Hail and door dings happen.Thanks! Much needed sound dampener, Fat Mat, way cheaper than Dynamat!
What's the wiper motor look like from the front in the engine bay?
I wouldn't mind hiding mine. I don't even use wipers anymore, but need to keep it in place for inspection reasons.
I finally got them in my hands and you're right, they are way too nice to mess with! I am going to run them as is until they need to be refinished. I would like them to have a slightly darker or "smoked" look, so I might plastidip them. That could help protect them too.Man those wheels look great! I wouldnt mess with the paint being they are so nice, but they are your wheels after all. Great work on the wiper motor. Your progress is motivating.
