I thought I'd post a photo story of my recent Genesis Gold B restoration. The 2002 grill was a solid performer but over time had some defects such as a cracked cookbox and a rusted through SS hood liner. After some back and forth Weber agreed to honor the 25 year warranty and promptly supplied me with new lid and box. They did not have SS lids in stock so they sent a mica black w SS handle. Weber CS was 5-star and very helpful in this regard and I will just leave it at that.
The following pictures give you an idea of the grill's condition:
The first issue I had to deal with was a severely rusted cross bar which bolts to the cookox. We all have that issue on older resto's but this rust was a beauty. I just bought some steel tube, cleaned it and after cutting out the old bar, replaced it using star connectors. I ground out some other rust spots and wound up doing some body work with filling primer and red cream. I basically spent a few weeks indoors, sanding, and filling and priming and getting ready for paint.
