Some body shop's won't do rust repair. You'll have to find someone willing to tackle it, and you'll have to be willing to pay $50+ an hour.

Theres a thread kickin around where a guy completely fiberglassed the whole floor of his jeep then beadlined it. Came out great and fiberglass will never rot. Prolly much cheaper then replacing the whole floor

Cut out all the rust and then buy sheet metal bend to where its going to go either weld it in i prefer to weld it or pop rivet the floor in them seam seal it shut the spray with paint or rust stopper like bed liner

Just started to do mine. Got an old hood, cut it up to the size I needed and away I went. Alot of grinding,bending,trial and error to make new metal fit where you want it. Not to bad if you have patience.
If you are welding, make sure the surface is ground down clean before you start.
