Beautiful engine bay. The wiper motor may just be deleted. Fatal88 has a similar setup. He completely deleted his wiper motor and wipers.

I was thinking the same thing, but then i saw he still had wipers so it got me thinking.... maybe its been relocated, but you may be right. but still why leave the wipers if there no motor to drive them?

So that you don't get written a ticket unless the cop looks under the hood.

Thats my car. I have not relocated the wiper motor, only removed it and plugged up the hole. The reason the wipers are on there is for the above stated reason. I used to have them off, and actually an off duty police officer mentioned to me at a car show one time about the legalities of not having them. So they go on and off alot, just depends.

Now, I have heard that it is possible to mount the motor inside the cowl.....I believe someone here as done it with a 4th gen motor. When I have some spare time I plan on playing around with some different motors to see if one will fit inside.
