The car is bare, little metal work(prep), weld a proper threaded bung/block on both sides(L&R). The problem is the bolt is in tension vs shear. I would have a big problem with that fastener unless the threads were perfect. Its never gonna get easier access than you have now. Angle grinder, die grinder and MIG welding would fix both sides in less than 3 hours for an experienced fabricator. Little more for a home shop guy/gal. this is a 2 banana fix.
