I picked up the carpet and I have two holes about the size of a quarter on the left side passenger floor (behind the driver's seat). Where would I get a new panel? The front has some surface rust but I think it can be saved. Thanks!

You will have to fab something up. You can get floor pans from gbodyparts or jegs. The complete floor sucks to do because it does not have seat perches or brackets for center console. you have to drill spot welds and then reweld them back on.

Thanks Chopped. I couldn't find anything at Jegs but I emailed Bweavy. I'm sure he can help me. I found the floor pan on his site but it is more than I need. http://www.gbodyparts.com/product_info.php?products_id=259&osCsid=74f8dcedb859c16c7fba0b72172b12da

Remove both front seats and center console and remove whole carpet. I bet u see more holes. I did. My one patch behind driver seat turned into $319 purchase from summit for a whole floor pan. That does the whole car

That looks like a generic pan but if it works you cant go wrong. I was wrong it was summit that has them. they are made by goodmark. but that is the whole floor

I'll remove the carpet tomorrow and take a better look. I peaked under the carpet on both sides of the car and so far it is just the D/S rear that has holes. I'll report back.
 
If the damage is really that small I would just cut back to good metal and weld in a patch. The real question is where did the water come from to rot the floor pan. Water in the back seat area can usually be attributed to a bad seem in the trunk water channel. The seam sealer is going away. Redo it and you will be good.
