How to remove wheel wells?

SCORE!!!

Found two 1984/1985 GS cars in a scrap yard near me.

Perfect because all 1984/1985 cars had the SE style suspension mounts (20mm lower like the Japanese model GTX to reduce tail happiness.)

I'll go back sometime to jack em up and check for rust. Hopefully they don't have any...

But now the question remains, How do I get wheel wells out? I don't have a plasma cutter.

I'm looking at getting a reciprocating saw. (See my post in the Lounge about Ryobi power tools.) think that'll do the trick?

Actually, I'm not totally sure why the cars are in the junk yard... One had a fire that looks like it originated in the gauge cluster... The other is in decent shape... Both are missing carbs and upper intake mainfolds... One is also missing the lower intake.

I used a angle grinder with a cut off wheel on it to remove mine.
