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

chrome bits and the horn ring on the steering wheel is complete

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.
