Its time to start my daughters buggy, she turns 14 next month and I'm holding on for deer (see JOTD) life. My challenge is to take this little prissy girl.

Insert her into this Buggy

add some mods and see what happens.

That appears to be a Berrien Buggy, 902 shortback.
Nice little starter buggy.

Was my original project buggy that got disk brakes and a new progressive webber, and ummmmm, thats bout it, lol. And steve I think she would love it, but not in the budget.

Jr. Made me update her pic.

Ok so I'm swapping the bug tranny for a 3 rib and ball joint for link pin front. I know I need to modify the front of the Frame. That I can handle. What do I need to do for the tranny? Mounts, cv's, axles and maybe shifter linkage? Just trying to get ducks in a row. I need to get it drivable so I can teach her how to drive a stick, lol. Wish me luck!

frankenbuggy06 · **Posted:** Sun Aug 02, 2009 3:08 pm

she coming with you guys out our way with that thing?

nitro_mudder · **Posted:** Sun Aug 02, 2009 3:14 pm

Next year maybe. Right now it looks like the pic with a non running motor and a bug tranny as well as a driver thats never driven a stick shift. 4 or 5 weeks may be a bit to soon, lol.

Well, Yall get 'er done and bring her up to D&K and show her some great riding! It's a good place to learn!

Well Koko, seems a few of my buddies went down there Memorial day weekend. They had trouble trying to get around there. Now in all fairness they shoulda gotten themselves a local tour guide. Maybe then they woulda had more luck. A few say they will never return. :cry:

I still want to give it a go, but it takes around 7 hrs to get there. Pushing it for a 2 day weekend.

kyjr.buggy1 · **Posted:** Thu Aug 06, 2009 5:32 pm

Geez, sorry to hear that for them. They're missing out. Tell them dont let one bad trip keep them from coming to ride at an AWESOME park. Who were they? Maybe I'll remember. They should've hooked up with us and we could've taken them on a great ride! I hope y'all make it down some time. It's worth the seven hour trip. Make it an even longer weekend, come down thursday, ride all day friday, Friday evening, All day saturday, and even sunday mornin'! It's a great place, with great people.

Duane and Roy are the main ones. I know some of the others want to return. And if I ever get my vacation days back (lost them when I got laid off) then I can do a long weekend again. Maybe Thanksgiving. Afterall it's why we bought the new truck. Reliable tow rig.

fgrir · **Posted:** Sun Aug 16, 2009 9:56 am

Duane told me about that trip to D&K, said he didn't know it was Darrel's front yard he was hill climbing in. I think he also said something about how the girls out there made him look so bad that he took the "truck nuts" off his vehicle.LOL!

nitro_mudder · **Posted:** Sun Aug 16, 2009 10:08 am

Lol, I havn't seen duane have much trouble at haspin either. Musta been some rough stuff.

If your talking about haspin in indiana that place ant much to ride,and theydont have no hills

nitro_mudder · **Posted:** Sun Aug 16, 2009 10:29 pm

Been to wellsville and Haspin only. I wish D&K wasn't 400 miles away, I'd love to be able to get there and back on a 2 day weekend and still have time to ride. Who knows maybe be able to make it Halloween Weekend. I really want to check it out. Haspin tho is my closest spot at 135 miles and Wellsville is around 300. Guess I picked the wrong state, and end of it, to be born in.

It's all right for trail riding but you are right, no big hills.
It's about all we got.

I guess the glaciers never got to your neck of the woods...........
