Best way to chop up a fd3s?

Hi everyone
I recently bought a burned shell and working on stripping the little parts that are in good condition. I'm down to the drive train and need the bare shell gone soon.i want to save as many body parts as I can,this includes quater panel ,rocker panel etc does any one happen to know the best points of cutting up the shell? I would keep the tube if I could ,but my parking space is limited lol
Thanks guys

Did this before when parting out a wrecked car. I chopped the rear quarter panels, and the front frame rails and scrappd the rest. Not a whole lot of people looking for the smaller parts of the unibody that I found.
