Up-close shot of the passenger side Torque Box from under the car. Notice the large dent caused by running over something. This has contributed to more rust on this box than the driver side. Also note the rust on the bottom of the inner rocker panels. Floor extension and outer rocker panel is in surprisingly good shape compared to the metal you see here. As stated previously, the former owner had welded in makeshift floor pans and didn't treat the welded area. Everywhere the pans were welded to, rusted through and where the overlap of the welded in metal, there was a lot of surface rust.

Close up of inside of inner rocker where it meets the torque box (shot opposite from above shot of TB). You can see how I cut slices out of the inner rockers to remove them in this shot. Note, much of this rust was not visible till the floor pans were coaxed out of position. The rusty piece you are looking at is the inside section of the inner rocker panel. These cars basically rusted from the inside out. It's what I couldn't see that was the worst.

Same as above, but of the rear section where it meets the rear TB. Note again the slices in the metal.
