Very interesting find. It's surprising someone placed this bag and papers under the carpet and that it stayed in that good shape for so long. Did you get any information you didn't know about your Mustang?
The floor looks very good and you should have no problem to patch that small hole.

I know that my wife bought it from the origanal owner. we even have the origanl plastic key chain, and lisence plate tag from were it was purchaced from the dealer in  ST Helana California. there is only one good body paper ,the other is what caused the rust Im sure

Nice man. I will have to get a photo of a rusty floor.  We bought the son a 79 TA and it had more rust then I seen when I got it.  


You have a great floor to work with.
