Rear arch, front slam panel, lower edges of bulkhead. Suspect the bulkhead is a real issue possible stemming from the thing flexing over the years? Had two saab that succumbed to that exact form of death.
Other panels I reckon a lot of them are light crash damage repair (that's then not galvo?)
Like all fiat group cars since 1994 they have way more rust protection than any Mercedes up till about 2005, then Merc finally started making a effort (subjective opinion alert)

@NurseHolliday I thought I remembered reading somewhere that rust is not really an issue because they have a galvanised body? As for sillyspeed I don't think I'd even consider buying a car (especially an Italian one) without a proper manual. Thanks for the tip on the 1.6 had been looking at a few but have since read plenty of other reports of them being a bit wet.
