Well, spring has come and gone. It's been 2 years with less than a page gone past in this thread. :doh:

Yesterday I brought the Migo out to my mom's. I don't know what if anything, I'm gonna do with it. But at least it's not sitting in front of my house begging to be picked apart. Last summer (while I was pregnant) I opened my garage door to see 2 mega sized rats on the hood. They got into it and just had a heyday. I had to clean it out and get it out of the garage so it's been sitting in the front yard for the better part of 10 months.

So the to do list is pretty much the same. I was able to fire er right up and drive it onto the trailer no problem. I love that she fires right up! It's such a good feeling that at least one thing works right!

Got her to mom's and now I'm inclined to at least clean it out and maybe get the electrical all cleaned up. I might even borrow some tools to get the old shock mounts cut out so if stepdad gets an itch to play with it he'll have a clean slate. I doubt he will - he's more into the hot rods and cherry body/paint jobs, but it'll give him a chance to spread his wings a little bit. Doubtful she'll get any help any time soon though :(

Meanwhile, I walk by it many times a day and several times I still try to figure out the shock situation. I don't know what to do :doh:  :ack:

I've got so much help offered for this thing and I'm soooo grateful to my friends and family who have offered to help me with it.
Being unemployed with a baby it's impossible to put anything into the rig right now. Everyone's struggling, and I don't have everything it takes to get this thing going. Even if we did get it wheelable, it needs registration and that's something a work party won't do :down: So I'm content to let it sit until things start coming together financially.

Couldn't agree with you more....but it does help to get out of that "funk" of feeling like it'll never happen when it's that far away from being useable. At least this way, she'll be that much closer to being able and wheelable and the reg (other than finances) would be the easy part. Nothin wrong with helpin a sister out any way we can, right?   :slap:  :biggthumpup:

You guys are pretty awesome  :yesnod:

I'm down for a work party - and heck I can cook too! :yupyup: Tommy, you're right. Having it ready aside from the reg/insurance would sure be a booster for that "funk".

Hmmm... I gotta talk to the "bosses" here and see if we can pull off a work party here or not. I'm thinking not  :nerv: but I'll get back to ya'll on that.  :crossed:
