My plan of attack would be ...
Brace the shell ... chop off sills ....repair floor ..... cut out inner wings and replace with repair panel.... fit new sills

what about,cut inner wings at the bulhead, drill out top spot welds on the wings and remove the whole front, do the same to custard weld back on, , then scuttle floor sills, and why brace the shell as doing one sill at a time didnt think needs bracing for that |
