Hi Graham,
The floors on GTEs, and maybe even 330s, had a fiberglass layer between two layers of sheetmetal. I'm sure it was for sound, and heat insulation, but it also trapped water between the layers, rusting out the floors. Not a very good idea! My floors were replaced with a single layer to make it simple. It's your call, but I wouldn't recreate a situation where you'll have to replace the floorpans again!
