Hi Bowsprit,
Building the electronics hardware from the components (LCD, MPU etc) is not so simple and requires quite some electronics/Linux/Arduino knowledge. If you don't have it, or don't want to invest time into acquiring it, your best option is buying the boards from Sean. It may actually be cheaper to buy them already made than acquiring the parts and building it by your own (you need the pypilot hat and the pypilot motor controller).
Once you have this, you just add your Raspberry PI Zero, download tinypilot on your SD card, and it should already work (and we can help here it you struggle).
You will have to figure out how to wire your wiper motor with the toothed belt by your own (Sean posted a small video on Youtube using a wiper motor a while ago, you can start from this).
You may find some interesting reading here: https://pypilot.org/wiki/doku.php and here: https://github.com/pypilot/workbook/wiki
Good luck !
