as said rust everywhere, mechanical is cheap to fix if anything is wrong.

rust main areas are;

Boot floor, battery trays, bulkhead, inner wheel arches, out wheel arches (especially rear) back panel, lower inner quaters on cabbys, front panel, chassi legs, lower doors, around front windscreen.

also roofs can leak quite bad.

Basically everywhere.
