Satoshi Restoration.....

Is this worth even picking up even if its free? Im getting it from CRSEXMEX tomorrow and apparently the person he had bought it from had previously butchered it.

So is worth it? HomerTaco whats your imput?

 

I don't see how it wouldn't be worth just finding new mesh. saves you color matching, grill, and most of the labor.
e/ not sure how 2nd gens mount the mesh, but probably would need to re-design that.

 

looks like a drunken dremel night with krylon and electrical tape, i just say pass. EDIT* ^^^ makes good point about grill though
EDIT EDIT* with the "handy"( Handy being the key word here) work they may have done more harm than good to the grill though

 

You can NEVER beat free....I would have that thing cleaned up in a heartbeat!!
I say go for it....I know I would.

thanks guys.

btw i picked it up today.

 

Message homer and get his mesh, or go and buy new mesh and cut it to the sharp you need.

 

if anything, u can dick around with it and learn on it before u attempt it on ur own grill.

 

THIS.

 

Looks like someone tried to make a version of the thin lip...

A grill is a grill - nothing wrong with free.

 

the lip looks way to thin for satoshi. Looks like youre gonna have to go with a grillcraft look alike

 

Dude its free!! Might as well go pick it up unless its way far from you and is going to cost you a ton in gas.

 

Pick up the precut mesh from Homer then you can do the work on how its connected, etc. Maybe re-do on the holes and do the triangles! Can't beat free!

 

I'd agree...

My mesh might work, but I think that lip is cut about 1/4 - 3/8 too short... And that's being conservative.
If the outer surround is in good shape I'd throw a grillcraft at it & call it a day. There is just not enough plastic left on that lip to do much else...

 

you dont think i can fab up some kind of lip with bondo and fiberglass? the lip is gone, nothing there as you can see so in order to have the grill recessed it gonna have to mock something up. and say i did you think itll hold your mesh?

 

If you want to take the time to do it then sure - my mesh will work.
