sheet metal.

if you havent done so already, pull all the carpet and check every bit of the floor.

depending on how bad it is you could cut all the rotted metal away and rivet/seal some good sheet metal in place. welding is more preferable, but you may not have access to it.

I can assure you, the "junker" will have the same situation.

I have a 94 Sport that has just gone under the knife (and welder)

You also want to check UNDER the bottom of the rear seat. In the outer-most corners. Use a screwdriver as there is a ton of factory sealer there and it can mask any rust.
