The diagram on Jack A's site shows his trunk floor kit is a five-piece assembly; haven't seen it in person, but when I needed to do this job I thought this might make it harder to piece into the existing structure. (Probably the way to go if you're replacing the entire chassis, though.)
What I did instead was order a patch panel from Saab Club Sweden. This panel is actually for a 96, but it works in a Sonett if you section about five inches out of its length (which is exactly what the factory did, which is why there's a seam across the original panel.) The Saab Club Sweden panel is pre-bent, which the Ashcraft panel is not; this saves you a potentially tricky bit of welding.
I think carpet sets are no longer available; Kanter used to offer one but it's not cataloged any more. Fortunately all the carpet pieces are flat (no molded shapes) so an upholstery shop shouldn't have any trouble cutting out new ones for you and binding the edges as necessary. I don't think you can get an exact match for the corduroy material in the center part of the seats, either, but again, you can go to an upholstery shop and look at samples and pick something you like and which is close enough for your tastes.
Good luck!
