First Post, 4wd hooptie :)

Hey guys!
So I owned a red 1991 rt4wd for almost two years with super low miles and a super low gear
just sold it, and welll, I've been regretting it..
Just got this '89 baby blue rt4wd hooptie with super high miles, a book full of maintenances, a nice clean interior, stock roof rack, and NORMAL SEAT BELTS (NOT automatic).
Sadly, one of the previous owners did some funky things with it, and I'm gonna try to save this little guy.
The car came with the diff and driveshaft removed. The diff mount is cut in half and no cv-axles: hopefully I can find all that at the yard, the front drive shaft needs a u-joint, and once I got it on the lift, I noticed the drive shaft had been rubbing on the car, and some asshole welded the back of the rear hubs. luckily I work at PepBoys and can get the hubs for pretty inexpensively.
I had another problem when I was aligning the rear toe. The rear toe adjuster bolt was rusted and broke. luckily the lower control arm is still bolted firmly to the vehicle, but no adjustment can be made. I will make a post in (hopefully the correct forum), but I figure this is as good an intro post as any. Has anyone ever replaced the adjuster nut inside of the body before? or should I just attempt to remove it with a bolt extractor? I need advice. I will get in there tomorrow or the next day if I get a chance and see if it's accessible. Any ideas?
