The rust photos are bad, but seen much worse! Just keep cutting / poking the metal until all rust is dsicovered. be sure to look ont he floor boards, under teh seats, looks like the fire wall was leaking, that measn there might be rust under the tar matts on the floor pan.
At jack points check up in the drain holes, try to cleant them out and peer inside.

can't tell from the photos, but is the top of the longitudual in the well behind passenger seat fire wall, rusted thru? if not then youa re not so bad off.

did your car come with the factory sound padding matt inside the engine bay? If so that is the casue of the rust on both drivers and passenger side fire walls.

Battery trays and engien shelvesa re easyt o get and weld up. The fire wall might be best cut out and hand fabricate some new metal to wels in.

be sure to use plenty of rust converting / worker proofing under and in panels and such once it is together. So often good metla work rust repairs are made only to re-rust again faster thant eh original cause water proofing, seam sealing and such is not done, (soemtime the (factory fails to do it right) Now days with new chemicals we can do better than the factory did on re-rust proofing.

good luck.
