There are a couple braces here that seem to rust through from the area under the front fenders. Also, check under the carpet in front of the heater outlets. As to the electrical side, check the antenna lead in cable. There is supposed to be a grommet to seal around where it comes through the body. If the grommet is missing, (usually is), some silicon caulk will fix this.
