Seville Chariot Rescue

[Paul Isa]

The first photo in this set was the view I had when the Chariot caught my eye (in the back right behind the plastic covered shed).  It had been neglected in a Hoarders yard for years. The elderly woman who had owned it for over 30 years grew very attached to it (as Hoarders do) and had grown many seasons of Zucchini in the bowl. At first, she couldn't see herself parting with it but she realized she would probably never use it again. I convinced her I would restore it and continue growing things in it. The bowl had numerous holes and would have to be replaced if used for grilling. The owner never had a lid for it.

I spent hours sanding it and bending many parts back into shape.  Both wheels had to be welded and two coats of paint finished the project. I used a sturdy water barrier to keep the bowl from rusting any further.

I understand it is a Weber grill and should be used for its intended purpose but I kept my promise to the elderly Woman and now my wife looks forward to working with one of my Webers as much as I do.  My wife fell in love with the grill/cart and has planted flowers in it for two summers.

Awesome rescue! It makes a great flower presentation. I hope someday it will serve its intended purpose again.

Of all the places to find a Chariot. Who would have thought Alaska? Maybe pulled by a team of dogs? Looks sharp cleaned up and painted.
