Just as an FYI…

 

The main difference between the MiGi and MiGi-II, physically, was that the MiGi had a bump between the forward portion of the rear fender where it meets the running board. This was to accomodate the clearance for the VW torsion bar suspension. In the MiGi-II’s, we more accurately remodeled the kit and did away with that protrusion.

 

The real reason for the MiGi-II upgrade was because the employees that were building the MiGi’s decided to hold Fiberfab, Inc. hostage for patents in the production of the kits. Instead, Fiberfab decided it would be cheaper to start over with new production empoyees and a better version of the Migi… hence MiGi-II.

 

The disgruntled employees took off for Florida and started up Daytona MiGi using the old, original body design.

 

In the early 1980’s, under the revamped (unfortunately) Fiberfab International, a front-engined MiGi was offered. In Canada, at the same time, we just continued building the MiGi-II’s at the rate of 3.5 cars off the line every week since we were not affected directly by the reorganization of Fiberfab, Inc. in 1979.

 

Hope that throws a bit more clarity on your query. 🙂
