	Stumbled across this while reminiscing about B289 stuff. Kevin Coppers Rat Buggy 'Hot Lemon' Most likely a repost but I haven't seen anything about it for a LONG time so thought I'd post it up. So if anyone wants to share more pics, info and links....please be my guest ;D ....and the money shot for me is: To use the term 'WANT' is somewhat of an understatement!

	Oh yes, it's still about. Kevin sold it on and the new owner is loving/cherishing it. BTW - typo in the first post. It's Cooper, not Copper!!

	Have a looky here for some very basic details from the new owner: www.beachbuggyclub.com/hotlemon/ B289 = "Back to '89" which is the era of the VW scene that was booming when I started driving. It's making a bit of a comeback both in Beetles and also the watercooled scene.

	well remember that being featured in custom car, loved it then - and now iirc from the articele, he bought the body at the tip, and the running gear was put together with what he could acquire on the cheap - something tells me the engine came out of a grasstrack racer? wish CC featured stuff like this these days - IMO that is what 'hot rodding' is all about - big motor, light car - on the cheap!

	That's superb, looks really well built. I'm trying to identify the front and rear lights... anyone have any idea? I was thinking the rears look Japanese perhaps?

	I think the rears look like van or estate lights on their side, the way they wrap around at the bottom would make sense if they wrap around the side of the original car... Fronts look Ford, MkII Fiesta/MkIV Escort?
