Not quite bodywork but check rear brake pipes round fuel tank as well - prone to rusting.

Rear trailing arm bushes prone to deterioration giving quirky handling.
Front wishbone bushes and ball joints ( ball joints can give a similar effect to warped discs ).
Rear shock mounts going can lead to a clunk over bumps.
They seem to be "hard" on their suspension I think for the mileage so most cars would benefit from a refresh.
