Best tool for cutting 3mm Land Rover Chassis, not grinder.
Discussion
I have just welded a new rear chassis section to my Land Rover, but now have some more difficult areas to get to in order to weld up.
Obviously a grinder is the way forward for most stuff and has been fine so far, but it is too big to get to some areas I need to sort which leaves me either having to cut off larger sections than I would like for access, or buy a new tool......
What would you recommend? I have been considering an air die grinder and discs (not sure my compressor would be up to the air flow though) and electric reciprocal saws.
Cheers,
Matt

So, ended up using my trusty grinder + a borrowed reciprocal saw + some new Bosch blades and ended up chopping good bits out to get the access I needed.
The only problem with the reciprocal saw is that I keep bending the blades when the saw pops out the cut, or hits the opposing part of the chassis
I do have a cheap plasma, but the cuts are so rough they need grinding back anyway.
