Check all electrics and check EVERYWHERE for rust! especially but not restricted to:

Rear wheel arches
front floor pans by the kick panels and all along the inner sill
rear floor pans
rear chassis legs
battery tray
under the rubber gasket that runs up the A pillar
top edge of windscreen

Good luck
