Tool For Cutting Quarter Panel Pieces?

After Christmas I'm going to go junkyard hunting for an AE86.

I'm really looking for some rear quarter panel pieces; here are roughly the sections I'm looking for:











Only the driver's side is pictured, but I need those pieces for both the driver's and passenger's side.

Here's my question:

What tool(s) should I bring with me to the junkyard to remove these panels?

I really only need the outer skin, so there isn't much metal to cut.

Here are the tools I'm considering:

Hacksaw
Cut-off Wheel
Sawzall

I'm thinking a cordless electric or gas power tool will be a must seeing as I'll be using it in the junkyard.

Thanks!!!

I would use a cut off wheel, very versital

Thanks for the reply BlackStar!

Yeah, a cordless cut off wheel would probably do the trick:



Or a cordless sawzall:



I doubt I'd need more than 1 battery (maybe 1 charged spare to be safe) as there isn't a lot of metal to cut, nor is it very thick.

I think after Christmas I'm going to contact a couple local rental places; it shouldn't be too expensive.

Still, I'd definitely appreciate more advice from people

both will work fine.

remember to cut the pieces much larger than you actually need.

are you looking to replace your whole quarter panel or just the spots you need?

Hey suprastarr,

I'm just going to replace the spots I need. My quarter panels are actually in pretty good shape

Just an update if anyone is interested.

I looked and (at least at Pick-n-Pull) they don't allow tools that can start fires, such as torches and angle grinders (sparks).

That just leaves reciprocating saws (aka sawzall)

I'm gonna look to rent one locally
