Roof along gutters, inside under headlining bottom corners of boot lid back edge bottom corners of all four doors on the outside bottom inner corners and top inner corners of the front doors all around the front and rear windscreens bottom front corners of the rear lower quarter panels top of the dogleg panels bottom of the dogleg panels sill panels bottom of the front guards front corners of the bonnet floors
Anywhere that shows any sign of surface rust on the outside has about fifty times more rust on the inside. |

Look up under the dash at the bottom of the plenumn. They can rust out from underneath and not be visible from outside under the windscreen.

Have a look at Rare Spares rust panels. That will give you an idea of the main areas that rust. Of course there a lot of other places that rust as well. Good luck with the job.
