Question about stainless steel - door sills

I haven't removed the windows, seat or gas tank yet, but as far as I can tell I'll have two items with rust worth mentioning. One is the diff. cover, the other is the bottom of the LH door sill. Makes sense it would only be that side, because it was a driver (snow) pre-1995. Not knowing anything about stainless steel, I'm still surprised there was so much rust. The floor board is unphased.

I'll spend 10 minutes a night x7 getting the rust off. Brush on some vinegar a few times a day, scrub at night and start over again. When it's all said and done it will look better than new, at least on top will. My seeking education is....are these solid stainless? What level of integrity is compromised by sanding these down?
