how rot is the floor
cos they go quite bad under the seat mounts and bulkhead mounts
all you need it a 7"grinder and a hammer and chisel to cut the body down
but look first to see there is no pipes or wires in the way

Unbolt the exterior panels first and sell them/weigh them in.  The roof can fetch up to £35 in the right places.

Cut the body away in manageable chunks, starting at the back I'd guess.  Don't chisel it if you need to keep peices, use a grinder or if you can find such a museum peice as a hacksaw (remember those guys?).
