I have mine currently raised in the shed.
Remember to take off heater cables all four. Disconnect all wiring under rear seat. Remove the two front brake lines through body. Did you have all
those?
Good luck

Bit much in my opinion, but it works.
Guess it depends where you want the body to end up and what your going to be doing to it...

did a drivers side a pillar inc. heater channel and hinge.
Brace up the body and dash prior to cutting to maintain body geometry/shape as its a structural panel.
Take careful note of position, such as that the lower hinge is out forward enough to make sure the door when closing doesn't end up kissing the door
sill everytime you close it. Make sure it doesn't go too far out either.
Do note that some aftermarket repair panels are made a bit 'cheaply'. the metal band/clip that holdes the hinge bolt threads is soemtimes only
gently tack welded to the point a few knocks in the process of fitting can break the weld. It would be a real bugger if that hinge thread plate fell
out with the a pillar already fitted. Be a nasty 'fishing out' job.
Other than that, have fun
