I will just leave this here


 
I don't get too many grills for free so I don't really count those. I do get most of them in the $20 to $40 category though. In that range I can expect that both drip trays are shot, which will automatically add another $65 to $70 to my restoration costs. So, if I had to pay $100 to start on a nicer grill that didn't need those things what's the difference? Plus the slightly more expensive grills are usually in better overall condition anyway. I'm going to make about the same in either scenario usually.
I'd like to see you restore another x000 grill and I always owe you big time for everything you've done for me. This Grill looks like it would be a fantastic candidate. I prefer the smaller frame 1000 but this could be an incredible restoration. If you're interested in doing it I'll pay for half of it.
 
Not collecting till Monday but will update after, photos suggest a low cost refurb. Not a fan of them grey plastic slats but they look to be ok so will keep. Buyer confirmed all 3 glass doors are present but i expect the hardware not to be there, no show stopper tbh as i can get them made if needed. Rather excited!
I'm excited for you and looking forward to more pictures and an update when you get it. I really like these light gray lids with red stripes. I think it adds to the vintage character and look. I'm going to do dark Brazilian walnut with my gray lid on my next Weber restoration. I like the contrast.
 
@Paul Warner if you still have that last Grill you finished it would be cool to see what that mahogany looks like on this Grill.

Oh and I don't think those gray slats are plastic. They should be real wood
I do have the previous grill so can try this, another refurb that never leaves lol! I assumed that slats were plastic as I have not seen the grey wooden ones. I did think it odd though that it had a wooden lid handle and plastic slats. What wood and paint finish would this be?

It's a very light gray almost white stain or possibly paint on the regular wood slats. Most likely Maple wood.
Here is a close up of one of mine in line for restoration.
