That grill was gorgeous, I regret selling it all the time.That black Platinum you sold. Wish I could have bought that!
The whole key to the project is having the right lid. I don't know how or why, but the lid on my black Platinum series grill was nearly pristine while the control panel was totally shot.I'll get a chance to make my own black Platinum 1000 though
The best thing about those is they are plentiful and cheap. The one you have there looks pretty good.
Maybe the guy who bought it from you will just get it super dirty and the igniter will go out and he'll put it up for sale for cheap and you can buy it back. Not likely. For one thing those igniters don't die easyThe whole key to the project is having the right lid.

I put a brand new Weber igniter on it so he won't have to worry about that. In fact, when I restored the grill the original igniter still worked fine. The collector box was just eaten away. The other problem is that he paid so much for it that I doubt he'll be in any hurry to give it away any time soon.Maybe the guy who bought it from you will just get it super dirty and the igniter will go out and he'll put it up for sale for cheap and you can buy it back.

I put new igniters in all of mine regardless if they're still working alsoI put a brand new Weber igniter on it so he won't have to worry about that.

They are cheap enough, why not.I put new igniters in all of mine regardless if they're still working also
I am not sure, but I think the 1200 distinction was reserved for the Skyline version of the grill.I guess technically it's a 1200
My pleasure Bruce. One of the great things about this place. I'm thankful for stuff that I've learned from you and I'll probably learn something new here by the end of the day.I learn something new every day. I had only seen the 1200 applied to the Skylines before. Thanks Josh.
Looking forward to seeing your progress!LOL. Yah, I am tearing into my next rehab later this morning (SS Platinum) and will probably learn something from that, even though I have already done several in the past.
Perfect that's kind of what I do tooIt is a rehab/flip, so I probably wont document my progress so much, but I will post up some photos when it is completed.
I wonder if it’s worth making a thread dedicated to flip grill pics?It is a rehab/flip, so I probably wont document my progress so much, but I will post up some photos when it is completed.
Are you thinking something different for restoration flips vs restoration keepers?I wonder if it’s worth making a thread dedicated to flip grill pics?![]()
