A haiku about my Datsun (Major problem, please help)

Car sat for two years,
The soft top rotted away,
Exposed interior.

Here's the scoop on my Datsun: I was under the impression is was tarped for the past six years. Turns out it was sitting untarped for two of those years. The soft top rotted off and rain/snow got inside the vehicle. My guess is that the bottom rusted. Is there any way to repair a rusted through floor?

Any other related problems to look for? How much damage is too much?

If the frame is damaged, you are better searching for a better candidate to restore. Floor panels can be purchased from Ross at Sports Imports. You may also want to check the other vendors such as Dean at Fairlady and Dann at Rallye - I believe that they have them as well. Or you could just go get some sheet metal and roll your own. It has been done many times in the past...
