Trifty Kettle 18 Grey restore project

I just got my 18 Gas kettle by Mail from the US it's in a good shape but needs some minor restoration and cleaning.
I would like to show the pictures I'm missing the grease pan, control knob and ignition.

I think they were around in the 70s. Probably the coolest one I have seen so far was a yellow 22 that turned up in the middle of no where this summer or early fall.
