Hey Guys....new member here so let me introduce myself. I have (3) Webers that I picked up on trash days throughout the years. I have a Genesis Silver A, Genesis LX1000 and just a couple of weeks ago picked up a Genesis EP-310. Here they are............
I've been using the Black and Red tops and they work just fine, but will need to restore the frame on the red top soon as it's the crossbar that supports the firebox is completely rusted off. But more on the later...............
The new (to me) Copper 310 actually looks pretty good from the outside and I cooked some burgers on it the other day but the frame needs some major work. The left frame assembly and the floor panel is in rough shape. In fact I had to completely remove the floor panel as it was beyond repair. Not sure I want to spend $140 on a new floor but that's about what they go for. Here are a couple of pics of the trouble areas.......
As you can see, I just temporarily wedged in a metal bar across the bottom so the magnets on the doors would catch on to something. But really that left side assembly needs immediate work. The part is available new but costs about $340. The only support leg that needs work is the back left (pictured). I think I can sand/paint out that rust as it's pretty solid.
Do you guys think the left/floor can be restored? I am thinking a wood floor but not sure what to do with that left side. Like I said, the leg supports are pretty solid but the panel where any wood floor would sit on is pretty much trashed on the inside. The right panel is nearly perfect........
So.......I'd appreciate any thoughts the experts may have on this restoration. Other than the frame, the grill works beautifully (doesn't need burners or even FBs yet).
