First of all, makesure it IS a replica

check areas for rust:
rear chassis legs
sills
rear arches
bulkhead where inner front wings join on (open doors and look on A pillar) inside around the bulkhead area
front floor pans if possible
inner wing where suspension cups mount on (usually side nearest the wing)

basically everywhere!
