ok finished for the day... here's where i left off
few pics and questions on some of the wiring and whether those hole things in the floor look salvageable or if they should be cut out

Doesn't look too bad. If you're patient with your welding you could probably fill those holes in the floorboard with out too much trouble.
I personally would grind away even more of the rust until you are completely down to bare metal. For me a wire wheel didn't work so well for this, but a stripping disk similar to the one in the top left corner (and usually available at Home Depot) was able to get rid of ALL surface rust on my floor pans.



After, weld up your holes, then just treat the pans with a rust converter/etcher like metal ready, and then cover with POR15 or similar product and yer good to go!
