battery tray is the 'standard' rust site, also the pother side under the water bottle, the footwells and sometimes the boot area. Other places can occur as well, depending on what sort of life it's had.
The good news is that patch panels are usually available, the bad news is they have to be imported and can work out quite expensive.

That pics not really working aye, it's super small.
That carb would be all good, but probably not worth doing unless you're doing other work like porting and putting a decent exhaust on it. You'll also need to make up a new intake manifold for it to work, so probably not worth the cost at this stage. Wait till you do other things.
