sorry abt the huge picture....taken it before i adjust my digi cam to SMALL pixels

http://swooh.com/premium/trey/upload/107_0703.JPG

1) how much would it roughly cost to fix it up???

2) over time will those tiny rust spot actually do lotsa damage to my boot??

3) or should i just cover a carpet?

advise pls...

yeh makkas right
thats some mighty fine paint you got there... doesnt mean a thing now

rust is like a sponge. it will soak in water and air, and will rust deeper.
it just looks like little surface rust spots and you can stop the problem from getting worse,
use rough sand paper to remove most chunky flaky rust and flaking paint
buy "Rust Converter" ($17 for 500mL)
and give a couple of coats.

this will convert the rust to black stuff that will no absorb any more shite, and will give a physical barrier to prevent water getting under.
after that, just put carpet over, soft side down to stop more scratches
