Wood & picket style. I'm pretty sure they arent genuine, but I prefer the way they curve around the rear valence. Somebody said they may be avonbar ones.

Cheers dude. I've got another set that I was planning on reconditioning myself, but if you really want them, we may be able to come to some sort of an agreement.

Cheers guys. Its going to have to go back up on the box at some point, to do brake and fuel lines, but I just wanted it down so I can get on with stuff again! I cant believe how little it is - it seemed massive when it was up in the air! Now I can get the seats fitting, the dash in, sort the load floor plans out and do all those little jobs that I couldnt do when it was up on the box.

I know its high, I'm not entirely sure why. The hi-los are wound right down and even with me in the subframe jumping up and down to simulate the engine being in there it only goes down about 1 1/2". I'm hoping the engine will pull it down some more, and I think some road miles should settle it in a bit as well. The back end is nice and low though! If I stand on the tailgate it bottoms out on the arch

I've got to wind the hi-los up and adjust the shocks 
. But it wont be carrying too many heavy loads - I have transits and a nissan navara for that!
