Getting a functional windshield washer system back in my car

Ever since taking out the windshield washer bottle back in August 2009, I had been driving my car without a functional windshield washer system.
When the weather is bad (raining), it doesn't matter because the rain water keeps the window wet.
But then when the weather is good and a fine layer of dust is on the windshield, I can't wipe it.

I finally had time a few weeks ago to put something in there.

First, I made a new bracket for the intake pipe to free up some space.
Bending metal by hand without power tools is not easy.


Sprayed some paint on it to prevent rust.

Now with a little more space


A universal water pump


soldered blade connectors on to plug into the original plug


Everything tied down and secured

On the same day, I was helping a friend fix his headlight, so while he also had his bumper off, I stuck mine on for fun.
