As these things are starting to multiply i thought i'd better post some pics, as you can see a long ways to go shapeways messed my order up so i only have half the turning circle that i should have after much back and forth they will one day send the part i need apparently (hopefully) i thought i would build mine as though i had deep pockets back in 91 and could of actually bought such a thing i'll add some more pics after the paint is done. This really is a great project i've built many cars over the years but to be honest this one really is special as they really aren't meant to be so a great big thank you to Niki and Jake for making this all possible.

Looking good.

Jake

awesome peter, as usual. can't wait to see the finished product.

Lots of nice parts on there.

Not dyeing the shapeways parts? How did you strip the rear motor guard, oven cleaner?

You know after reading your description and seeing some of the parts you have installed, you do have deep pockets for sure. I know what some of those parts cost and how hard they were to find. It took the better part of two years to get some of those special parts you have installed on your car.

Looking forward to seeing more.

Jake

That looks really slick with the all white parts. Can't wait to see it completed.

BTW, what wheels and hubs are those on the rear?

Hi Rod
The shapeways parts were put in the coffee for abit they are slightly yellowed compared to the steering bellcrank which i left white. As for the motor gaurd its an old gold one that i sanded down to get the scratches out of.

Looks great! I need to stop looking at all these cars with graphite chassis because it's making me want to build one

more pics added

Looks fantastic.
White nose bodies seems to look really good with this chassis.

So simple yet so beautiful. I think I'm going to have to try and replicate a Pavidis style paint job on mine. Well done sir

sweet painted body plus those black rear wheels look killer nice job!

Best looker of the NIX builds so far, and thats a tough call haha, wonderful build!
