For the people who missed it....
Due to so many PMs and questions...(thank you for the 3 enquiring phone calls over the last 2 days..)even though some are pretty much on the money and have suspicions., they has been a change of circumstances for MRNOS. I have ..for the time being ..purchased HDT-034...It now lives beside HDT-134..I intend to finish the mechanicals and get it to race trim then MRNOS and I will review his situation and move forward from there. While this has been a hard decision for him, it only seemed fitting it lives here at my place until future decisions are made. He said of all the cars he has had and moved on from, this was the hardest of them all. I am sure you and he agree..it is in safe hands to be finalised into the product it was intended to be....OK..The secret is out..no more speculation. Progress pics will be added. In the meantime HDT-134 is minus stickers and at NOS place being cut and buffed within an inch of its life to the high standard of HDT-034. Stickers will be re-applied on return.

This car is more traditional...308, L34 style heads...rest will be about the same...mainly because we do want it to stop, and not break boxes and diffs.
