Hello all!! I recently tried my hand at my first "restore" a couple days ago. I put it in quotations because I am completely new to this and haven't done anything in terms of cleaning other than some general superficial cleaning on my Weber Performer Deluxe once or twice.

That being said, the level of cleaning is amateurish compared to some of you legends around here! I really tried to take my time with every little piece as far as cleaning and polishing, and when all was said and done, I honestly could no stop admiring her beauty.

I was told pictures or it didn't happen when I first joined, so without further ado, here she is in all her glory!

Also! I do plan on Re-homing her and have been doing my research as far as price points, but they are all over the place. If y'all could be so kind as to let me know roughly how much this would roughly run, and good reputable places to market that would be much appreciated!
As I mentioned, I am a complete newbie and this is most definitely my first Rodeo as you can tell 😅

*the only two things I did not touch were the handle and the bottom triangle rack*

Seeking a Black Sequoia I know I know, I'd settle for just the tabbed no leg grill

Isn't she! I honestly could not stop admiring her after! She is currently sitting in our living room against my wife's wishes 😅 I told her it was not different than some of those fancy art pieces people hang from their wall in my defense, LoL!

Gorgeous!  I hope to find a beautiful yellow someday.

You can take restore out of quotation marks. That's a damn fine job.

 Very nice ! I would love to own a yellow. I once had a one touch platinum in my living room until my wife kicked it out for the Christmas tree.  Awesome job on the resto.
