All can be sorted with a little patience.
And a big hammer.
The 'what's this' is the battery vent hose, don't forget to reattach it.

The battery has a vent on the side, it's tiny, a circle with a 5mm diameter. It should have a tiny hard plastic piece sticking out (that's probably fallen out given the condition of the van) that allows for the little hose to attach to.
The welding you have done for the floor there, looks good. There are people on this forum who have had a lot worse than what you have here and they have turned them into minters so... KEEP GOING!
Also that stereo, great if you want to keep it classic, but you will be better off getting a single din stereo and sticking that in. The fucntionality/practicality of changing to a regular stereo can't be beaten. Although if you want you can get one of those Android double din HUs (recommeneded brand:Pumpkin).

Mine was done "honestly" but with an inch of body filler along the lower panels, attached directly to rust, hiding major collision damage and repair panels stuck together with bathroom silicon and more body filler, my van is honestly the worst vehicle I've ever tackled. Carry on, soldier!

Thanks Mike. Depending on local Covid restrictions I might setup a Trashed Van Support Group with biscuits, tea, tissues to cry into and a padded wall to take in turns to bang heads against while everyone else claps.
