I was trolling ebay for goodies and found THIS. The rear end pic with middle post delete and black top roof, looks familiar.....


Past member QuintinGT: which some may remember for some incredible mods, like single windshield wiper and gad tank filler/tail light mod

..and with all his hard work he sold it.. i believe for a VW

I looked through the sellers items and found some more pics
CLICKY

Too bad whoever bought it couldn't save it.

Anyone want some cheap jdm's? (may have to mod the driver side taillight back to normal)

Bummer! It was a sad day for me yesterday when I read this. I called the wrecking yard but I'm a few months too late, lol. Oh well. Thanks again for all the props. It was a fun project.

Lol I knew this was coming, sorry I made you wait several years. I will look back through my old pictures and see what I can find. I can tell you it involved welding up the existing hole in the linkage arm attached to the middle wiper and re-drilling the hole closer to the pivot to make the arm effectively shorter. creating more rotation with the same stroke from the wiper motor. It also involved lots of trial and error to get it just right.
