I always liked what Bob Whitney did to this Performer grill .https://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?61678-Weber-Performer-Facelift
I found a Weber SS Performer on Craigslist Last Tuesday for $100, post was 3 hours old. These Weber's go fast.
Looking at the pictures whoever put it together did it all backwards. Both sets of wheels were on the wrong end, and the Weber placard faced the backside of the grill.
I told him ill give you $75.00, done deal.
Here we go. After i took it all apart and put it together the right way.

Harbor Freight wheels.

The rest of the parts were from Home Depot, except the 5/8" nylock nuts to hold the wheels on were from Ace Hardware.

I didn't like the all thread showing in Bobs thread so I bought some square tube plain steel and put the all thread thru it. you will see it in a later picture.

All thread cut off point.

And the 2" lift kit is done.

Now all i have to do is give it a good clean, paint the square tube, get a new igniter, fill the gas can and were all good.
I can't cook a pizza in the Challenge Pit..Throwdown #39: Pizza Battle Redux, but i can turn a wrench and build cool stuff.
Have a great weekend.
