Sills inner outter, boot floor, chassis legs, inner wings, sunroof, arches.
Check turbo, fuse box, pretty much everything

And as above check as much are you can, They suffer from rot pretty much everywhere and probably been nailed by every owner so have a good look and listen to the engine, gearbox ect.
