So iv'e been working on one of my cars for about a total of a month but havent been working on it every single day until yesterday and today. Iv'e put about 14 hours of work into my car just so i can get it inspected so it will pass so i can get a job before I run out of money because I quit my job because fuck it.

 

So what I was getting at is that once something that I have been frustrated with finally works and i move onto the next thing, another thing pops up that I get frustrated at and just want to quit but cant because the inspection is at 7am tomorrow. I only had about 1 hour left of work till it would be finished but then I remembered that rear disc brakes also have drum brakes for the parking brake., which is where i am currently stuck.

 

I cut my finger and kicked the rotor in frustration and i think that may have helped but I dont know for sure because I left to eat dinner

 

Wish me luck.
