tearing apart my goat!

[cessnatwin]

I have had the goat one week now, and we have torn it apart had all the small parts sent out and sand blasted. Fenders and winch parts are being done this weekend! All fluids have been changed, I added a spin in oil filter adapter, changed all filters, all new hoses, coolant and a new radiator. I have a new tail gate, steering column, front gear box. New belts, mirrors, seat covers, top, fuel lines, horn, hood latch's, pioneer kit, reflectors, drums resurfaces, brakes flushed, cleaned and adjusted and resealed. Just way to much to remember to list right now, my brain is burning! We will start on the body next week if we have time with the holiday fast approaching.

So we are going to show you a few picks of week ones progress!

I appreciate the help from this site, PCTRANS for bringing her to me (THE BEST TOW GUY OUT THERE) Doghead and Joe for there support, and my main man ANDRE aka (redneck) here on SS! Thanks for the help and I will post as we get this thing together for one of the Florida Rally's if not both!

My auto shop has been so busy we have had to skip a couple of weeks of tearing into the goat. Here is the latest, we removed the entire front, dash, covers ect. what a pain in the ass! Here are a few pics as we get her ready. Been painting today and prepping for reinstallation of a lot of parts!

Nice job! i hate to ask but i have to know, what was the original intended purpose of the goat? (why did uncle sam have them)

 

[Rattlewagon]

Wow! Talk about motivation! That's awesome work! It probably helps that you have nice weather too. It's 13deg. here right now...

I've always liked those things (I love detroits like Gimpy likes pink!!!) but I'm with Dave, what was their intended purpose? They swim too don't they?

Love the pics! Yes, more pics!

Read about it here:

Pardon the spam, Mike has blocked my access to the section, so I can not maintain it any longer (he is supposed to make some big changes, but the years move right along).

Do you have NSN numbers for the seat covers? Would 2540-045-7948 be a good number?
