Default Fusebox repair panel help

What's the best way to go about removing the fuse box so I can repair the surrounding area? Do the wires disconnect from the underside? Or is it a case of undo everything engine side and feed it back through inside?

The fuse box is held down by the little crappy screws if I remember correctly. If it was me I'd do it from the engine side back but I'm sure someone will say if this is wrong

Loom out from engine side ,meaning whole loom out from interior ,or if your brave chop out round the partly removed fuse box, and put a slit in the metal to the round hole to get around wiring, and the same with the new panel and then weld the slit up after

Think I'm gonna have a chat with the body work bloke see what he wants to do its only at the front of the panel so might not need to remove the actual hole lol
