I am completely cleaning and restoring the entire unit. Clearing rust and traditional paint(black and black high temp). Also restoring the wood slats, which will be beautiful. I am buying new ignition system, some caps for open frame holes, a new crossover burner tube, two new 2"caster wheels and bottom tray rails. The whole grill cost me $10.00. The new stuff above will be about $55.00. My question is will I recoup the costs, should I get new flavorizer bars, 8" wheels, and grill? The present ones are serviceable, but funky. The bars are enamle with rust creeping up the edges. The grills are enamel and clean, but rust on underside, and the wheels will clean up well if I remove the "Weber" whitewalls and polish them.
It comes down to a matter of what the market will bear. If I were to keep it, I'd go stainless on bars and grill, and get new 8" wheels with the weber whitewalls. But my end game is to sell at a profit, so, what will the market bear here? I dont want to make it so I lose $$ on it. Not sure how many appreciate a 1990 grill's value. your experiences and thoughts appreciated.
