Default Upper control arm nuts MISSING from bolts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just bought this thing from a guy and I put it up on stands in the garage and what do I find? The nuts that I presume are supposed to hold the control arm bolts and everything together are gone!

Lucky there is so much crap in there that the bolts can't drop out but this isn't good. I wonder how long the previous owner was driving it like this?

Here is the passenger side:

Yeah, thanks!

That's what driving all year round in southern Ontario (Canada) where they salt the roads all winter long does for you!
