Default Nut inside body came loose

I couldn't figure out how to search for this but I'm sure it's happened to someone else. The nut that the caster block bolt threads into is no longer one with the body of the car. I can move it around in there and line it up perfectly but there isn't anything to keep it from spinning. Has anyone ever experienced this? I figure my options are:

a. Superglue the nut in place and curse at it everytime I need to take the control arm off
b. Cut some sort of access window on the body and try to weld the nut in place
c. drill a hold in the passenger footwell and drop the bolt down and snug it up that way

Any suggestions are much appreciated, thanks

Brilliant. I read somewhere on here someone welded something on their car and fried a bunch of electronics though...

take out the battery, dme, and disconnect the afm. make sure your grounding clamp is close to the weldment.
