Be ready for a heart through the bum moment, I had a similar situation with my sedan. Started cutting out what I thought was a small section of rust and ended up replacing both inner sills.
All the best with the resto,

Good progress.
I think we all find more than we anticipated when we look seriously. But that's the idea of a rebuild I guess, to reach that point of satisfaction.
Terrific job on the back windows.

  That was the good thing about driving it for the past eight years on a daily bases
  you get to know the what works what doesn't  , things that need changing or just modernising
 
  l was prepared for both sills, both front floor pans replacement
  The doors l had repaired spare doors ,bonnet and  guards and  gone through the rear quarters when l removed the rear side glass

   Trying to get a head start on the resto and   because l enjoy driving it so much  the less time off the road the better
