Mine rusted out in that damned hole where the body mount bolts on -
fabbing
that took some cussing.  If you can't find a kit, then you are in for some
serious sheet metal work.  The original was ribbed to stiffen it - I wound
up welding some channel instead of bending those then filled the whole
mess
with roofing tar to stop any further rust.  Also check behind the pedals
on
the firewall for rust - I had a quarter sized hole up behinf the brake
pedal that let water in from the splash which compounded the floor
problem. 
Saw the same hole in 2-3 that were in a local junk yard.
