Only matt lacquer. I've tilted the bed today. I going to have a think about it whether to drop it an inch or two.

Thanks guys

Well, guys, better update. Due to Tom looking to have the Dorset ready for the hrd, it put the pressure on me.. anyway, it's been all systems go recently. I can say. The main steel work on the bed is done. I've had the ali sheets on and the winch..just got to do the side cupboards now. All that's left to do is.
Fit the screen.
Make exhaust.
Wire it up as I've been let down, unfortunately.
Fit the ali floor and winch.
Make the ramps
