On the plus side good excuse for new tools so I've ordered myself a plasma cutter to cut the body off and into pieces for scrapping

P30C Plasma Cutter, 240v, R-Tech Plasma Cutting Equipment

Seems to get good reviews etc from a bit of searching... just have to wait 2 weeks for stock but hey.... sure it will come in handy with all the other work at the mo (1949 series 1 rebuild, early 90 rebuild etc
