LATEST RESTO FINISHED - 1988 GEN2

[Ipkus_j]

Hey Guys, due to the abrupt 5 day lock down in Melbourne (Australia) I managed to finish my latest project.

It's an 1988 GEN2. Overall condition was good when I got it. A lot of surface rust due to being near the beach. Works include:
- Firebox and lid end caps sandblasted
- Frame taken back to bare metal
- All parts sanded, primed and painted
- All timber sanded back to raw and stained
- All parts cleaned

Unfortunately one might be on the chopping block due to space restrictions and 2 other projects on the go [emoji1787]

Great job on the restore.
In my opinion old Genesis are the best Genesis.

Beautiful restore, that’s quality work and attention to detail.

That’s a sweet collection of Genesis gas grills.

I started a redhead resto with 13 flavorizer bars last summer and the project has not been completed.

Thanks for sharing your cool collection!

Cheers

Nicest Weber gas grills I've seen.  You've put a lot of work into those and it shows.  Grate job!

[Ipkus_j]

Cheers mate, yeah a fair bit of work but love doing it!! I've got 2 others on the go at the moment, just waiting on sourcing some parts.

That looks good mate!! Have you gone for a gloss finish on the end caps?

WOW.  Just beautiful work and quite the lineup you have there. I just love the older Gennies with wood slats and you've got the goods. Well done
