Sorry, I think our sites on something tonight. I can barely post anything. ??? This is the one I picked up this afternoon near me. I don't know what happened to it! :o  It looks like it was eaten away by acid. I got it a a ten spot and the parts were pretty decent with some extras, but when I looked at the bottom, whoa! :o

Well here he is all cleaned up after rehab.

He looks great on the outside, but there's still some internal damage. He's back up and running though.

Let this be a lesson to you young'uns out there. Take it from this guy. That junk will lead you nowhere but jail, rehab or death. :(

What's the story on the grate ?

Nice save and awesome restore Shaun!  8) 



This just proves just because a Weber is old or rusted doesn't mean you throw it away. You do what Shaun did or sell it to someone who will restore it and give it a second life!  ;)

Nice work Shaun....did you add the thumbscrews?  The lid vent looks like a post-early 80s model.

Yeah, the legs were extremely wobbly and there was no other quality fix for it. This thing was really in bad shape. :D :o
