Just use a grinder and one of the really thin cutting discs, or a air saw if youve got a compressor

Definitely the 1mm cutting discs for the parts you can get to.

Sharp bolster chisel for the tight areas.

 

Works a treat!

Drill out any spot welds as well.

dont cut any thing off untill you have the new panels in front of you..then measure mark measure again look look look and think then look again..then when all this seems good in your head..carefully attack panels to be removed with spot weld drill bit ..grinder with cutting disk air cut off grinder these are like waffer thin disk ..snips..hacksaw wot ever your gonna need ..but to do a nice job of inner sills im sure your gonna need to remove outer sills to do a puka job

[oldbus]

Incase you do have to take out the outer sills too make sure you brace the door gap and before you weld it all up tack it into place, refit the doors and check to see everything fits properly.

 

Also don´t just jack the car up in one corner if you´re removing the sills, either keep it on the floor or jack all 4 corners up and get it on some decent stands.
