yep like nova's try look under the back of the side skirt they rot bad under there
sills and arches mainly, check your arches are actually metal and not a bodge filler job
as above, filler and rust!

check the boot as well, they tend to rot there, mine did, check it from underneath though as you couldnt see mine from looking through the boot, only from underneath and the top strut mounts have a habit of going every 6months or so, they're shocking
boot floor, petrol cap, arches, sills are all places that have gone on my brothers
