Hello all,
I'm joining the church of Genesis as a convert from lowly Dynaglo maddness. I've been ogling all these mid-90s restoration threads while looking out for a good candidate to give a face lift. A redhead Genesis ~97 1000/1100 popped and I was quick enough to pick it up Sunday.
Starting point:
Minimal Rust on frame
LOTS of carbonation on the interior
All burners work
Ignition switch works
Cast Iron grates are in good shape
Flavorizer bars are in good shape.
Warming tray and warmer are very carbonized but salvageable.
Came with cover though there is a hole in it.
This will be a keeper so I'll most likely focus on a general interior clean up (already started) and an exterior overhaul.
Check list:
Sand/prep/Repaint hood caps
Clean Hood
Sand/prep/Repaint firebox exterior
Deep Clean Interior
Deep clean frame and repaint the frame or at least touch up as needed?
Refinish wood or replace with something decent (teak/ipe decking ect.) if i can find a good deal.
Repair cover - any advice on restitching/ fabic cover glue.
