Looks good! For the lower bolts I just ended up using some M12x30mm bolts on either side. I ditched the through bolt idea so I wouldn't have to clearance the control arms.
I'm going to go measure that engine mount for you right now!

Paintstripper I bought for the rims!
Started splitting the rim
Put on the paint stripper, before I could find my cellphone it had started working
10 minutes after
Starting to look like something
And almost finished
