Back wall repair

Image
The first major repair is underway: a stainless steel sheet has been cut to fit and is being pop-riveted on to the original back wall. this will seal up the rust holes and provide a new lip for the top cooking surface to be bolted on to. Tomorrow I need to pick up more drill bits as I've only managed to get two holes done and riveted. I will do the oven section next, then look into insulating the firebox with high temperature ceramic wool.

I've managed to unscrew the holding brackets on the cook top and started cleaning the oven It's been two buckets worth full of old mortar and broken fire brick. The oven box has a few holes. Here you can see the new stainless steel sheets I recycled and started cutting to rebuild the oven with. I've sanded and started working on the chipped enamel. the legs got a sanding and covering with silver spray paint. The back got heat resistant oven paint and will get a new stainless steel sheet.
