Weber Kettle Restoration

I picked up a Weber Kettle on the weekend for $30 AUD ($21 USD), it’s a model J from 1987, or so the website tells me. It’s in fairly good condition for it’s age, so I plan on restoring it as much as I can. Some sandblasting and painting will be required as well as some metal work to get the dints out and some woodwork to bring the handles up to scratch. Here are some detailed photos and i’ll follow up with the progress of the restoration.
