Id say the most rust-prone areas are behind wheels, lower cowl area, and the front floors. They usually rust from the inside out, as they have dead spots for retaining moisture. Cowls would be hard to check with the fenders on but theyre notorious for collecting leaves, etc. Ive pulled out enough leaves to almost fill a 5-gal bucket before lol. Im sure others will chime in to add.....
