The front floors had more corrosion, to the point of pitting and a handful of pinholes through the metal. Looks like the PO tried to solve by painting over, there’s a couple coats of white and black paint over it. Looked awful, but the metal was still solid. Also, the rear floor was dented way up by someone jacking the body up (use the jacking points!

I degreased and scrubbed everything, then treated the metal with an acid etching. I filled the pinholes with a fiberglass resin and painted the spots that had the surface rust with POR-15. While the POR-15 was still tacky (~4 hours), I top coated with a red oxide and a red primer to match the existing metal and sprayed some black rubber coating on the existing seam sealer.
Now, off to the body shop!
