On my car there was nothing on the floor except about 100 small rust holes in the front floor. My bodyman replaced that with a new piece from Jose Franssen and he did an amazing job of it.The rear floor was solid. I did paint the entire floor with a product used to paint the bed of a pickup truck. The insulation product I am using is called EZ Cool and is about 3/8” thick and does not retain water.  I’m almost done gluing it in but won’t glue it to the floors because as I’m sure you know, these cars car leak water. I will glue the underlay over the two corner holes and will probably put some putty there also. It’s coming along but I am going to have the doors, wings and bonnet painted (the roof and boot lid are done) before I do anything further as far as fabrics are concerned. I moved the drivers seat rearward by taking the front mount angled bits and cut them off with an cutting wheel and bolted them down in the hole that was about 1 inch from the front edge of the seat mount- I was uncomfortable with the seat so close but this is a change that can be put back to original if a subsequent owner desired.
