Well, I went to the garage on sat and decided to look the mustang over. The Inside carpet was soaking wet. I think when the firemen were hosing down the house, it got inside the car. (it was covered in ice cicles when we went up the next day)
so I decided I needed to get it outside and air it out and get it dried up. well of course the battery was dead :? so Rob and I pushed it out, then put it on the charger. There was mold on the carpet in the back :cry: it was just on top and wiped right out. so after sitting most of the morning on the charger I got in and fired her up!!!
so I'm standing there with Rob just looking at it and he says "you want to drive it don't you" :D well hell yes!!! so he fills the brake fluid and I get in, man my legs hardly fit under the wheel,LOL and Im going to need to lift weights to turn her. lol
So sunday, same routine all over, most of the carpet is dry now, except the back seat drivers side. It was alomost on empty so I drove her down to the station and put about 7 bucks of gas in, lol don't want to get to carried away, may not get to keep it :roll: . anyway picked up some tranny fluid, she was having a bit of a hard time getting into 2nd gear.
so rob tells me if I get to keep her He's going to get disk brakes, power steering and prob put those wheels and rubber we got for the model a a few summers ago on it. He's decided on steelies for the A.
so now Im really excited, and hope and pray I end up with her 8)
Here is a pic from 2004 we took dad down to the Opening of the James Dean Gallery

Seriously I'll keep mine crossed also
I've owned 17 Mustangs in my life. I sure hope you get to keep your car. If you look at it as an investment, you should keep it as long as possible thinking that someday it will have enough value to change your life or someone very important to you. Some of my best memories involve Mustangs. :lol: :lol:

Nope Vance it wasn't a good thing. My stepmoms house caught fire during the night my dad and my stepmom got out, but dad went back in to get the keys to the cars 48 dodge, the 64 1/2 mustang and his 2002 mustang convert. and he never came back out.
My stepmom is now giving us a hard time about that car and my dads coin collection that was to be left to my grandson. (he had no will) but we had discussed this on many occasions with her and him. so hopefully I will end up getting to keep the car.it been in my family for 41 years. she turned into a real stepb!! if you know what I mean. They had only been together for 1 yr and 4 mos.
Debb
Debb,I certainly wish you the best of luck in keeping YOUR car! After only a year and a half association with the Mustang,How could she possibly think anyone deserves it other than you??Let us know how it all works out.....let's hope she comes to her senses!

Quote from: "kb426"I like Dave.
Dave's bad!!!! :lol: he's gonna get in trouble, and Dave why isn't sue in the Powder room yet??? You need to share the puter now :lol:
Vance, not to worry, I think about Dad everyday and miss him terribly. so you didn't bring up anything that wasn't there already :wink:
worse part of it is I never expected to be going thru this stuff, especially being an only child, its given me high blood pressure from all the stress. I can't wait till its settled. then I can focus on the memory of good things with Dad

Debb i asked Sue and she doesnt have any interest in the internet forums :?: :?: So looks like she aint gonna show..
When my dad passed away last year we went thru hell also. The things i found out after about his girlfriend and the missing 50k. Nothing I can do and I havent seen her since the funeral and i hope she thinks of him and his money every day :twisted:
Sue and i stopped at the cemetary saturday and put flowers on mom and dads grave. I miss em both..

Debb
Debb, check with an attorney and see if there's some type of lien you can put on the car. This can help prevent her from selling it off or putting the title in her name... :idea: :D
Thanks Bry, I have an attorney and since I am the only other Heir to the estate and she opened it without my permission, it has to be court surpervised,. I just received a letter today from my atty. She has now fired hers :shock: LOL and there is a hearing set for the status of the estate on May 14th, my atty said he will be there on my behalf and I won't need to attend. I'm going to call him tomorrow and see what the low down is.
I have the car in my garage Bry!! so at least I know its being cared for and safe :lol: My momma didn't raise no dummy :) we brought it home the day after the fire. for safe keeping.
he also sent her a letter with my request for the coin collection and the mustang. she should have gotten that today.
she won't be able to sell or dispose of anything without court permission and I have an attorney who knows what I am wanting. just keep your fingers crossed. at this point shes run up so many bills that we will prob have to sell the dodge and something else to cover those.
Debb
When did she run up the bills debb..My dad had his name on accounts with his girlfriend and the day after he died i was calling everyone. I even ,,,,,well sue and i even went to what she called her bank cause she worked at a branch but this bank didnt even know or care who she was and got my dads name off the account. The problem was thats where all the rest of dads money was.
The lady at the bank tiold sue and i that there was a sizable chunk of money there but we couldnt prove it was dads so we just got his name of the account . She was looking for a death cert to do that but it was already done. I hope that money she stole kills her f-a-t AZZ... And i wonder what lead to my heart attack.. Im praying for you girlfriend.. This stuff sucks. I was paying bills for B/S a year later... One thing though .. since dad really lived alone everytime i cancelled a utility or sat tv they did it for free just because after i told them why we were cancelling.. Yup there are nice people still in this world..
Dave
That sucks Dave, well dads money was all gone spent a fortune remodeling Her house :(
I meant ran up attorney bills, hers so far (get to come out of the estate) 2100.00 I know thats not a lot but when there is nothing left but "things" they will have to be sold to pay that bill. Unless shes just going to pay it out of the kindness of her heart!! I will have over that in my atty. (I get to pay my own ) :cry: already at 1300.00 that was for last month lol
