green rescue.
« on: September 25, 2013, 04:00:25 AM »
Hiya all, been a bit busy lately so no cooking for me, but on the plus side, I am now, I guess, an official kettle rescuer. :)

It’s a 2002 57 premium, plucked from the depths of a local newspaper ad.

It has simply been lacking a bit of tlc.

On the way home I stopped at the jet wash and gave it a quick blast, its not bad, a few rust spots and dents but nothing really that cannot be sorted.







The cleaning will be starting over the next few days with the aim of getting it ready for a cook this w/end.


will let you know how i get on with it.







I need a red head in my life, and a roti ring.

this was the only rust on it, around the lid handle, same on both sides.





after a trip to the auto shop, the paint is near enough a match.




still needs to have another coat and then be rubbed in, but it should look ok once it's done.


more later.
