Where are the common places to look for rust?

[ausgolfer]

Main areas. There are tons of other areas though.

1# Bottom rear of the front fenders.
2# All around the windscreen mainly along the bottom of the A pillars.
3# On the sides of the scuttle near where the fresh air vents go through the firewall.

Lower part's of A-pillars & around lower edge of windscreen.
Lower edges of tailgate & around lower edge of rear window.
Top edge of rear hatch opening, where the rubber tubes go from the body to the hatch.
Front floor sections.
Lower parts of front guards.
Lower edges of all doors.
Front engine rubber mount cup (crossmember).
Under rear bumper bars on lower valance on each corner.
In rain tray(plenum chamber) especially around the sound matting. It can get underneath it & you wouldn't even know. To make sure look under dashboard above pedals & fusebox.
Clutch cable firewall mount.
Roof rain gutters.

Hope this helps.
