We see a fair number of rusty Rubies and Colin has summed up the usual trouble spots, to which I'd add the lower edges of the doors and the front bottom corners below the hinge. all of these are generally quite simple to repair.
The main problem with Mk2 Rubies is usually the condition of the woodwork, which is often crumbling, even in otherwise sound cars. We have a theory that earlier models had received some sort of timber preservative/insecticide treatment that was not applied to the late cars.
