That's going to keep you busy.
I had the same issue with storage so invested in some second hand industrial racking shelves.
When you take a car apart, it's surprising just how much space everything takes.

It's amazing how much they can pack stuff on a car. The subframe will propably be installed back for a little while to make it easier to push the car around. My plan is to do the welding work outside if weather allows so no sparks are flying around the garage.
If you were local you could borrow my dolly. Custom made for an S2 Avant.
I would weld inside. Just clear any combustible material and have a hose ready just in case.

Hopefully I can clear some space inside the garage at least around the area where welding would happen. I have a pile of scrap body panels stored inside that have to go. I also have water hose inside so I can keep it right next to me if I decide to weld inside.
So I got almost all the welding prep work done. All lap joints have weld through primer applied and the quarter panels got test fitted to make sure all the panel gaps match. It took a bit of fiddling but everything is starting to line up nicely. It's a little scary to weld them in place since when it's done, there's no moving them!
I got a couple hours today at the garage and got the insides of the mudguards painted, so everything is ready for rear quarter panels to be welded on.
I never had the luggage compartment tie down points at the rear. So I purchased the needed brackets to attach the tie down points to. I was only able to find them for the right hand side . So I bought two of them and with a little cutting and welding I was able to make it work.
Today I (hopefully) finished all the welding work. Both rear quarter panels are now welded in place. Welds still need to be ground flat and then a coat of etch primer to protect the bare metal surfaces.
I finally got myself to finding a local place that sells dry ice so I could remove the old sound deadening. This is around 15kgs of dry ice but I propably could get away with just 10kg.
This is the end result. Some glue residue was left but I'll have to try a decal eraser wheel on them. All this plus the boot floor was done in about two hours. Even if the ice was relatively expensive, the time it saves compared to removing all this using some mechanical removing is massive.

It flakes off at some points but not completely. Next job is to turn the car sideways and scrape the old underbody seal off. Would have made it a lot easier if the old underbody sealant have flaked off the same time. Of course if you are planning to do the same job without touching the underside the dryice might not be the best way.
