Work towards your dreams. Work hard. When things aren't going your way, work harder. Success isn't easy. I'm finally back working on my Urban rally car "Rough Life Wilson".

The top photo is Wilson's interior almost fully put back together. The second photo is the accessory gauge that tells me A LOT (once sensors are installed. You can research more here if you like. They are designed for motorcycles but uses a 12 v source) https://kosonorthamerica.com/tag/meters-gear-indicators/ .

I decided to mount it centrally so that my co-driver can operate the lap timers and monitor angle of body roll, etc.

The last photo is an example of internet inspiration that keeps me going when I feel deflated. Once Wilson is up and running, I will be running with the big dogs! Well... okay... BEHIND the big dogs!

About to begin the sunroof delete. Car needs paint.

I don't want to let the cat out of the bag, but lets just say we're in the middle of negotiating for funding to enter the car in Le Mans. Also having a conversation with... oh I shouldn't say his name... a certain driver https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...v=PqldP8hJkd4h so we can represent this car properly in Europe.

Noahs944

Oh brother, that's good to hear. Last I heard you had bought a couple "cheap engines" for blocks or something, no? What broke?

Noahs944

Interesting hearing from the driver's perspective.

Had to fill the sunroof air inlet for gravel roads, and engine conversion hasn't been completed.

Can anyone guess what I'm trying to achieve with the booster cables?

Noahs944

Ummm.... okay, here is the answer to my question. The booster cables & steel tubes are to ground the car because when bainting in the garage I noticed the car was statically drawing dust particles to it (like static cling).

Here's my buddy's car after a fresh wrap. Got me seriously considering wrap vs painting again!

Done. Not 100% perfect, but I'm pleased.

Nice going, there Noah! Just one question..What's the master cylinder next to the driver's seat do? Front brake hold so you can smoke up the rear tires?

Noahs944

Hey Brother,

Good guess but no. It's designed to break traction at the rear for drifting around corners. Just like this. Clutch pedal in/steer & pull lever/clutch peddle out & give it gas:
