I still think the engine needs to slide closer to the drivers side by roughly an inch. In the picture of the "canted" axle, was the spindle mounted in the lower arm? It looks to me that the drivers side spindle may have been displaced back a bit. Another possibility is the engine is not quite straight, needing to move back on the drivers side too.
On to your welding question. I don't want to discourage you but welding really is a long term commitment to learning. First take some lessons at a local high school, this should include advise on what you'll need to buy/ where to get it. I'm in the same boat right now. Looking for a class, for my next big project that I will be posting about soon.
I would stay away from a 92-00 civic radiator. it will be too tall for your grill.
