I would just do the repair locally even if you have to cut good metal away to get at the rust damage .You then work from the inside out retrace your steps etc etc . If you remove the complete side the body will loose its rigidity and be very "floppy" and you will loose its registry .Would be a big problem putting it back ,door gap and so on .
