Hola, The most important place to look for rot is the cowl area ... pour water into the slats in front of the windshield ... if it leaks into the interior from either side under the dash, you have a problem. It really takes a lot of disassembly to fix. Also, look at the torque boxes ( the area in the floor in front of where the floor angles up to the firewall). Those can be hard to fix. Most other areas are fairly easy to fix. I would imagine a lot of Mexican cars are pretty solid if you are from a desert area. If you are more tropical, you may have to look at the car closer.
Yes, definitely check the cowl area. Also look underneath for any frame or floorboard rust. Welcome to the board.
welcome freind, you'll meet top notch people who care greatly about the cars they have as well as the people. jim
