The notorious top part is already removed. I need the subframe which doesn't have ANY cracks which I can tell. Will further look into it once I have the cash.

The dashes have a bunch of hollow points I thought about filling with an epoxy or such to "rigid" it up some. Or a foam maybe if it needs to flex some? And something around the screw holes to keep them from breaking off. Any ideas?

I am inclined to believe that the subframe doesn't have problems until the top pad is busted away, exposing it to the sun. I think that since you will be using the good top pad with it, it would be fine the way it is...
