I just ordered new underbody Plastics. Engine covers/splash guards and wheel well plastic plus a right front steering knuckle. I probably need to purchase the hardware to hold them in or is there a better solution perhaps involving welding in tabs? A number of the old attachment points were damaged by rust or the plastic clips were worn.

Yes, you need to get creative, but it's doable, even zip ties as a last resort. If you do much urban high speed driving, throw away (sell) the lower engine cover and put some metal under it.
