yes you can and drill it out or get a bigger bit all together and overbore it then do the same to the rad support bracket it's self. As for getting it to hold simply use a nut n bolt I had that issues also only thing is I did a jdm front so I never really got to drill it. But I've done that procedure on other things using nuts n bolts works fine assuming g you have a full set of bits just pick the next biggest one.

That is the front upper bulkhead, [upper rad support] it is spot-welded in place, there are no bolts.

If you use a bolt/stud extractor for the sheared off bolt, you can save the nut. 94

The rad support? sure drill out like 30+ spot welds and grab a new one or do the jdm front. That's how to did my JDM front removed the entire front not hard at all just time consuming.

If it is by the batt. it will be the filter for a short ram air intake.

I don't know body work too well but iirc primer is meant to absorb liquid as when you're painting it helps make the base-coat/foundation. As for bondo I wouldn't get it wet seems like it would soak up water pretty badly.

I would have to see a pix, but most likely it is just a filter with a cover.

I had my hood bondoed and primered for over 6mo wi5thout any problems, all that was done before painting was a light sanding and a second coat of primer was layed down as I had the whole car painted. 94

If your worried, grab a few "rattle cans" of your cars color, [or close as you can get] and cover bonded area with a few light coats, it can be sanded off when you paint. 94
