Welcome to the forum, Bruce.
Learning to weld by making some shop equipment is a great idea, not a step backwards. Welding thin sheet metal as you will do for your rust repairs is a higher level skill as thin metal is much more difficult to weld for beginners. So your cart and your welding experience building it both will help you in your repairs.
I, too, have been there in the one car garage, mine was really more of a shed, had a gravel floor even. Couldn't easily walk around a full size car if it was in there. I worked on VWs and motorcycles at the time, mostly because of interest, but partly because of space.
