Rear lower of front fenders, front lower of 1/4 panels, front panel lower and rear panel center. Always look for sub-frame rot particularly in early models. Floors of course...lift the carpet if possible to inspect. Look at all weatherstrip channels as well.

rear floors, drain points, antenna, right above the headlights tend to get holes and leak into the trunk
