Have removed the spot welded edges around the door frames, the seam at the top of the back rear panel, and the rear cross brace.
Just a lot of grunt work cutting spot welds. Using simple HSS cutters, I find the brad point is where most of the resistance is, so drilling a 1/16 or 3/32 hole through the weld first cuts the cutting time by two thirds.
Most of the metal under the welds has surface rust since none of this was painted at the factory. Cleaning all surfaces down to bare metal and covering with weld through primer. Only removed enough welds on the upper windlace and rain gutter to move them out of the way of the work.
One last piece to remove over the inside of the rear window, then it's ready for final trimming on the roof to fit the outside rear window patch panel.
