I used air hacksaw and air cutting disc (---| ).... easy peasy
Other options for large flat sections are jigsaw or a scorpion saw type thing with a metal blade.
great saw to own
A recip saw would do it but I know when Im let loose with mine there is never any neat cuts

I use 1mm discs on my angle grinder, cut through my brocade shell, and the entire front end when scrapping it no problem, just use that.

That's the type of thing, not sure if you can get an adapter for a slitting disc.
Bloody lethal though, that one I borrowed has no handle on the side like an angle grinder and if you're not careful it will remove digits.

Fein Mulitool
Bought one for the gf dad who's a plumber. Uses it for all sorts. Laminate, pipes, tiles, cutting screws, bolts etc...

He got a mains version though. Now they seem to be battery powered.
