Its a van!, if the metal on the floor in the back has rusted away, it is as good as worthless. Unless you are very friendly with a welder, or can do it yourself, scrapping it might be the best option. A repair or replacement of the rear floor, depending on the age of the van, could easily cost more than it is worth.

Repair/bodge what you can.
ORDER the correct size and fit a FULL mat with LIP!

If its surface rust then sand it out and then put some 'rust to metal' paint down.
Let it cure and then i'd fibreglass it to give it another layer of protection seen as you've had rust
Check the floor under then van has got no rust either mate, as if it has then you've got rust eating away from both sides, you cant really 'bodge' that....get someone to start welding or scrap it mate
