I was planning on mounting my 914 on a rotisserie using the bumper mounts but the front ones are completed rusted. I’m surprised the bumper was holding on.
Obviously other ways to mount it but how do you replace the mounts?

Similar to this, I have two parallel 2 inch square tubes running the length of the car closer to the sides. Then three shorter pieces running side side. The frame will be held on from the bottom by 6 or more touchpoints. Donuts and suspension areas.
I have 1 inch tubing bracing the cabin, front and rear trunk to car controlling flex.
Biggest challenge has been measuring and comparing to the body specs, reallly hard to know what they use as reference points.
Half of the reference points are complete guesses. The rotisserie lower frame probably weighs the same as the car.
Once car is more solid I can use it more as a true rotisserie.
I used 3 ton engine stands as the base of the rotisserie and added the yoke from engine stands.
