This is the first GQ I scored a few months ago.  (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170515/395ce034e360c78f9ac47e773b06971e.jpg)
It came in "ok" condition, but without the bracket.  Both grates were inside, here's a look at the charcoal grate and the piece that holds it in place.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170515/fa2e5240aa4df5ddcfa991c13b496a7b.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170515/7843ae921d9acf9ca6c5e724726ef2b8.jpg)
Unfortunately the handle was barely clinging on for dear life.  I needed a welder, ASAP.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170515/cd07637a7b5f231685460732f16908b5.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170515/251a799beaa1c2cdad13e22c5dd3b2ae.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170515/ebd4f2f0ec73aafd56c13b3a22b708fe.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170515/e319bd7eadbd28db35b6d8748663e00d.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170515/ffb54ca25f34b4d081ee238fdac387d2.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170515/ece9fd630f06cbc78dcbe4f77c203763.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170515/c0703feaad54d1d9738b3b4845438e4c.jpg)One of the nuts fought me pretty hard and had to be soaked in liquid-wrench for several days.  It eventually came loose but I was super careful.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170515/6575e9a380edbcf3af7d08582548b33a.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170515/8a1040af4c2bd4cb9687a2d10756857f.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170515/33cf3f75513c82604c1c7885996c22cd.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170515/27130ca02f044521e287fbd9ebbb76fa.jpg)

I had the handle strap spot welded, which led to a series of other projects I'll unveil in the future.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170515/c909f935e1dad8ccb38bd3661732de1b.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170515/007291e947d0a12935c3065dd1307dd9.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170515/d5a0017873bcfc1c70ec8840cf59663c.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170515/c66d018286c2770dc62d58c4b96b82e3.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170515/52a21b6803a564c705d4a4f4703b8c63.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170515/b8c44b7ec0e80d5e8c03af853b51ac71.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170515/08815ad17cee4b410846454f6db94629.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170515/cbeb2e04a1e1e0ec7b753a5ce87ebd00.jpg)

I'm slowly migrating the rarer grills towards my home office... first step is acclimating the wife to grills in the patio.  (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170515/d25d28149f9214d8f2b7885374f8010d.jpg). "Um... no honey, it's a hat rack."

Thanks for looking.

Fantastic job on the restore! I'm surprised Weber didn't think of the ash bowl (precursor to the OTG/OKP) when the regular SJ vent was redesigned in 1982-present.
