Hi Colin,
Impressive work, especially on the repro stuff. I'm envious of you and what you've achieved, and I look forward to following your progress. Regards, Matt.

Great stuff Colin. I love those rivets! She should be another rare one to add to your collection. Have we had finished pics of the truck?

Hi Matt, keep up the good work on your new carrier and welcome to the forum
 I'll have to post some pics of the Acco. I just didn't think that is very interesting for the watchers  and say hello to Christine from the family. When are you coming back to Oz  I did achieve a bit today but had to stop early to make meatballs'n'tomato sauce for tea(Yuuuumm)  Most of the mounting blocks werepretty ordinary so I decided to remove all of them from the floor and replace with nice newies and also put some new sleel in the hole in the floor.

The piece is all welded in place and just waiting for the grinder. The firewall was all but gone at the bottom which is very common for these machines that have been left outside all those years but it's no good looking at it as they just don't repair themselves.
(unfortunately)

All done and that's a bit of a hassle to do. Having the hull on it's side does make it easier though. I also had to machine up the steering pivot bracket as it also had the same fate as the mounting blocks.
