C pilar body bolt....

[VA6489]

Bought be JT second hand and was told the C pilar body bolt fell out. There are no threads for the bolt to grab. I am assuming the nut has come unwelded from the body. Is there an access to get in there and replace the nut?

Yep the factory bolt is only spot welded and they rip off pretty easily (at least for me).

I'm contemplating cutting it out with a grinder, welding a new nut in and then welding it back together. I've only seen one video of a real mechanic doing it and it's not pretty.
