Pretty much everything that rusts on a series 2 does on a series1 mate basically the same shell so check everything lol

If it was me ad be checking things like seat fixing mounts,battery tray,bulkhead where fuse box is,front floor pan in the corners,sills,inner wings,back quarters above rear lights,boot floor, rear inner arches,pillars where the front doors mount to,chassis legs etc,roof above rear hinges,roof around sunroof if it has one,door bottoms,boot lid bottom and corners inside where the rear screen sits, just have good look over it

All you need to know is here mate.

In the main is rot and identity, many have hidden horrors and or have had floor pans replaced and so no permanent id on the shell present.

Read the above should help give you a checklist and spot anything that is amiss.

As said, rusts in most of the same places as an S2.... but for me the biggest thing to watch for is originality & whether it is a genuine S1 ??????
