Hey everyone, I would like to know how to remove the window wiper motor from my 87 XT Vortex as it is has stopped working and I am trying to see if it can be fixed.
Any help would be great

Thanks

Not sure, but if you had a photo might be able to give you an idea.

Here's a photo not sure if this is the best one;

did you buy this car from centre road wreckers in clayton??

car looks very familiar

Nah i bought this car from my uncle, he had this car sitting on his farm for 6 years and then we moved it to this other farm so I can try and work on the car.
Do you know if they still have the vortex at centre road wreckers? (I sure hope they do lol)

They do but its pretty bare now.

Looks like I gotta go check it out, I heard that centre road wreckers have a warrenty on their parts or something, please correct me if I'm wrong, I wanna see if I can get the window wiper motor out of that cos mine is pretty much gone,

warranty costs extra over there as far as I know.

yeah it does, harveys wreckers in langwarrin have a vortex too, but i call dibs on the rear brake setup :P

(hurt my back on friday at work, cant lift more than 5kg, so i cant get them off yet...haha)

Yer you can have the rear brakes lol, does harvey's wreckers have a website cos I cant seem to find 1, also I call dibs on any interior parts, dashboards and cool hub caps:P

why have cool hub caps when you can install coolest alloys?

Unfortunately I don't know where to find alloys for this car because of the stud pattern, if you know a place that has alloys please let me know

this stud pattern is shared by pugs of the early eighties in 14" 15" and 390mm [15.25"] unless you have a supply of 390mm tyres do not waste time or money. Search LTurbo about may last year he put up pics of his 15 inchers, they look good enough for the money, fill the guards nicely on an L Series. I think special nuts are machined up, don't think Thomas LTurbo did this though - I recall asking
