Cut the door bars from the main hoop, And rear bars from the main hoop and remove those sections. Then remove the main hoop. Done.

I think you can remove the main hoop with the rear bars in tack.
I would just cut the door bars about 2" from the main hoop. Then cut the the plates anyway you can. And pull the main hoop and rear bars out together.
This way you can re weld the door bars back to there original place.
Grind the old plates off and make you some new ones.
