That's pretty bad. If you plan on keeping it for a while. Fix it.

pull **ALL** the carpet if you havent already, to see what you are dealing with. If the back is just as rusty, then figure out what you wanna do. i've done front and rear pans in mine.....it's a lot of work.

The floor pans are available from Quadratec, but it is a lot of work if you' have never done it before.

Yea welding that is hard, since its so thin. If I were you I would cut all the crap out. Take a crash course in MIG welding and just tak the plates in there.
