New toys for the shop!

(IMG:http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92/tdsmoonchild/porsche051.jpg)

This one took some doing. My shop didn't have 220v and I'm too cheap to hire an electrician. Shop is an old building and the service panel only had one space available for another breaker. Well you need two breakers for the 220v. To make matters worse, the breakers I needed are no longer made anymore! Had to source the two big amp, obsolete breakers, use them to feed an add-on service panel, run my 220v circuit for the compressor off of the new add-on panel, plus replace the one circuit for my overhead lighting that I had to remove to make space for the two big-amp, obsolete breakers.
Major PITA. All done while original service was hot! Good news is it all works, looks professionally done, and nothing caught fire!

Lots of rust repair to be done! My plan is to put the tub on a rotisserie, but then I have this:

Trunk floor looks like this:

and:

(IMG:http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92/tdsmoonchild/porsche064.jpg)

So looks like I need to replace whole trunk pan. Anyone know of sources for this?

Thought I would just use "Grasshopper" method for the bumper mounting point. Any suggestions?

Maybe I need more, like the whole trunk. Some of the other areas are very pitted.

Ok, so I've fabricated the piece for the rear bumper mounting point, but I need suggestions on protective coatings. Do I coat it before welding it? Weld-through primer, metal ready? Or after with something like POR15? Help me out.

For similar repairs I've used Metal Ready followed by Por15 and am happy with the restults so far...

While I'm waiting on a fender section to finish repair of the back bumper mounting point, I decided to start building the world's cheapest (and ugliest) rotisserie. It started out like this:

Big pile of old metal tubing in a field behind the shop.
