So I ended up fixing the problems on the passengers side by using a combo of the spot weld cutter and a step drill to reweld the seat mounts back down to the underfloor bracing. Follow that up with lots of grinding and then welding in the thin spots and gaps and I think I've got that side done. Just need to finish up the toeboard area and it's complete.
The divers side needs some more grinding as my disk started throwing chunks and I didn't have any new ones. This weekend I should be able to finish it up and maybe get started on the seat mount brackets.
After I'm done with the welding and grinding I'll take a rust/paint eater wheel to the whole area then prep and paint it with Eastwood rust encapsulator primer top and bottom. Then seam seal it, paint it white (body colour), and the bottom is getting under coating. The inside of the car needs to be cleaned out really well and some wiring work done to improve the routing and organization as well as bring power in for the power and heated seats. Power will probably run off of the original power supply from the fuse box but the heat will need fresh power off of the underdash power point I added specifically for stuff like this.
