Slice and Dice

I will buying a mk3 to part out since my friend has been wanting the r154 for a while. Its a turbo car minus the engine with 129k on it. Its a shame but the body is pretty far gone with bad paint and rust. I have 2 questions. One is how much do you think the body weighs just by its self? And two, would it be hard to use a reciprocating saw to cut it into 4 piece?

reciprocating saw, sawzall and a grinder with a cut off wheel. should be easy to cut up. prolly weighs 1500 lbs? idk maybe someone else can touch on this.

It took me about a week from the time I got the car till now when I cut it up. I took all the parts out that were worth saving and cut up the chassis. But before anyone yeahs about cutting up a good supra, it was not in that good of shape. It sat outside for a few years and had rusted though in at least 5 or 6 places as well as had bad paint. But I thought I would post the pics so you can see want the frame looks like cut apart and also why the flex happens when the roof is off on a targa car.
