keeping in mind that when you pull the carpets, you are not looking at floorboards. you are looking at asphalt sound deadening material.
all the panels have holes in them with rubber/plastic plugs for water drainage in the event of a spill/water ingress.

always look under the car at the unibody seams for rust expansion.
