If the holes are already there, then you can make them bigger within reason.

I chopped my cortinas firewall completely out to move the engine back, not sure about the rules though.

as long as you weld another one in and get it certified its all good.

Do it in a professional manner and repaint the area to match the rest of the paint and you should be right. (As long as you don’t make the hole TOO big!)

A temporay brace in first is good practice especially if cutting the bulk head aswell.

Generally, NO, you can't alter a firewall at all, even just to fit bigger bolts. But, if it's very minimal & it's all done properly to the point that no one would notice unless it was pointed to them, then go ahead

Likewise you bozo.

Just as I mentioned above - but the-lada-dude might like your suggestion better

No problems there as everything in the car will need certifying.

Until you have any sort of insurance claim and the loss adjuster figures that your policy was null and void!
