Fenders off Rebuild?

Does any one have experience with a fenders off rebuild? My SIII factory welds were taken apart to do front end collision repairs. The fenders are now fastened at the firewall and front near headlamps. But there is a lengthy stretch in between. If it remains not welded is the structure compromised? If it needs to be welded to wheel well skirts, any suggestions how to get at it without taking the engine out?

They cars are a unibody.. The front wings spotted to the inner guards and arches help stiffen the front. While the outer parts are not as integral as the inner guards and rails.. They should be weled on
