This batch of pictures was taken at the RV storage yard where I orignally kept the Goat.

thumbnail The driver's compartment. It's hard to get in and out of the truck, but it's fairly comfortable after you manage to squirm in through the window.

thumbnail Right front side, with engine access cover open. The cover is spring-loaded, and is a lot easier to open than you would think.

thumbnail Left side of engine. The alternator is missing. I knew that when I bought it, and I already have a replacement for it... but I'll need to order another bracket to install it.

This next batch of pictures was taken in late 2005, after the Goat had been sitting in my field for a couple of years. The local rodents really made a mess of the insides by packing the hull with sticks and thistles. It took a couple of hours just to clear out the stuff packed around the fan so that I could start the truck, and then several more hours of work with hands, vacuum cleaner and pressure washer to get most (but not all!) of the rest of the junk out. Luckily, they didn't chew up too many wires. Grr. Well, even after sitting for a couple years, the engine started up right away after I put in fresh batteries.
