Cayson, you might try wire brushing it then POR 15ing it to buy you some
time. You can use duct tape under the pan to "seal" the holes and then apply a
second coat. I'd be more worried about your floor vents than the floor, as from
what I see coming out of them doesn't look good. You might want to keep an eye
on them, and maybe be spray some oil thru a garden sprayer to slow down the
rust (note: the rust here is harder to fix then the floor pans). The Ghia pans
will work (buy them in 1/4s) and basically just bend the outer edge upwards so
it will drop in place, then rework the bends until it fits tighter, then you
can cut out the old stuff. BTDT. Go here to see a pic of the floor cut out;

Roadster), but all type3s are similar, although later models have an additional
support running down the center of the floor pan (lengthwise). I hope this
helps.
