Well done. Once I started digging around on mine there were a lot of holes in the inner front wings. Worst bit was up at the top, in the channel where all the wiring runs just below the outer wing mounting rail. But anywhere where there was one of those weld studs for the inner arch liners there was a good chance of a hole.
You can buy M6 weld studs off ebay and plug weld them on, then drill out the black plastic nuts a bit bigger and it works.
Thanks, the front of mine is completely fine, I've had all the front panels off, it just has very localised rust to all 4 jacking points, NS and OS rear floor and the arches as above. It's started at the seams and progressed about 2-4" in every direction, fortunately I've caught it in time. I've used 3 cans of waxoil so far..
It's weird how they rust in different very ways... all the jacking points on mine were perfect. There was some nasty random surface rust around some of the holes in the lower sill where the big round cover clips push in. Bit of welding on the lower rear quarters behind the bumper. Both front perches had rotted out at the top to some degree. All in all really not bad for a 20 year old original car with history of crash damage. Mileage definitely plays a role. Lower mileage cars tend to be less rusty in general as the crap paint hasn't had such a beating!
