To do it properly you should remove the body from the pan.

Just incase anyone asks this section is the worst rust in the car and otherwise (and from the outside ) the thing is perfect .... even has all the chrome bits and the horn ring on the steering wheel is complete 🙂
the doors close perfectly and there is no external rust at all 🙂 ....

I've only done this once and found it easier to leave the body on the pan. Cut the old sill completley off by drilling out all the spot welds at the bottom of the front and rear side panels and cutting the welds at the bottom of the door pillars.
Undo all the bolts along the side of the floor pan and the old sill will probably come off pretty easily.
Once you have the replacement sill sitting beside the car it will become more apparent how it is attached. I assume you can still get replacement sills.
I have some exploded views of a mid sixtys beetle in a work shop manual. U2U your address and I'll send you some photocopies.
