Looks like the sill is part of the failure. Thats not uncommon and we did mine a couple of months ago, dispensing with it and welding higher up the side to the first crease line. You could do even that after a 10 week mig course.
Its in the WIKI

When you see it cut away like that (and why we took the photos) you can see how its constructed and how it all fits together. I think we actually improved on the design of that side during the repairs. The rest is plating and maybe a new arch or two.
