N code taco performer.

[Jules V.]

I know everyone will go up in arms for putting a taco handle on a N code performer but i just had to do it out of necessity. I picked up the grill for free in the summer. The frame is in excellent condition. Bowl in very good shape except for 3 chips. Lid was in excellent shape except that the handle was totally rusted out.  It was barely hanging on only one side of the weld.  Not a welder so I just decided to fabricate 2 pieces of ss plate to hide the holes where the weld was. I smoothed out the holes using a rotary tool and sand paper. Painted with high heat paint and installed the 2 ss plates along with the taco handle. So here's my limited edition redhead.

I was showing my daughter the tasty mods on this and she says, "yeah, but what's wrong with the handle and wheels?"

Not a collector by any chance but i really wished the handle was in  a much better shape  when i got it  since this is my only old grill.  Just tell your daughter the handle was in life support that's why it ended up getting a taco transplant.

It had the proper wheels until yesterday. Just happens that i donated it to one of our members earlier today. Not a fan of the hard plastic weber wheels. Will be replacing it with "lawn mover" type of wheels shortly.

Wait, so that's the original bowl and lid? If so it looks damn good

Looks great to me.

At first glance I thought this was the new LE red with brackets and a mod into a performer.

That looks great. Apologize for nothing on that kettle.

Bowl and lid is all original. Has slightly more damages than a typical nib red LE, but at least it was  for free.
