    Rust spots

    Im hunting rust at the moment. Any advice on where to find it (common trouble spots) would be appreciated. Im not interested in outer body work rust. Im interested in the hidden away, cant see it kind of stuff.

    So far i have

    Subframe
    Radiator cross piece (and associated brackets)
    Under the headlamps
    Sills
    Tailgate drain holes


    Anymore?

    Complete underside of car.. some are well rusty. Could do with properly all scraping off and re-sealing if it's bad IMO.

    On the door A pillars right down between the top and bottom door hinges.
    Inside the door (you have to remove the door cards)
    Subframe in loads of bits you probably cannot see.
    The place where the front wings screws to the sills of the car. (under where the wing covers)
    Where the horns are all the area around them I founf loads of bith there take the arches off and you find some.
    The arch mounting bit where the clips go into a fee of those hole bits have rusted on mine.
    Radiator at the top and bottom mounting points.
    Drivers foot wells under the carpet mine looked fine but under the blue paints theres rust.
