Rust issue
hey all, I'm just wondering where does the rust usually most common on our FC. I know our cars are old and I just want to check for rust when I have to time do some inspection myself. So where should I check for rust during this inspection. thanks

Same areas as any other car.
Any "dog legged" area where a ledge is formed.
The area at the rear of the front wheel well where the fender attaches.
The front are of the rear wheel well where the inner fender meets the floor pan (there is a rubber plug).
The inside of that same area, under the body, vertically where the subframe attaches.
Bottoms of the doors if the drain holes are plugged.
Behind the license plate holder.
Rear quarters where they join the inner fenders and there is a seam.
