Hi im redoing a 92 nissan 240sx hatchback with 155000 miles...on the outside there is no aparent rust. Now since i have the front end completely taken apart and the drivetrain removed, i found a 4''x8'' rusted through section on the drivers side outer fenderwel in the engine compartment(about where the exaust manifold was). My question is; are there any other areas that are more prone to rusting through? frame or body?

thanks-Dustin
