lol, keep looking and I'm sure you'll find more!! But don't despair, they're all pretty much the same.
Pull your carpets up and check the floorpans and also behind the pedals on the bulkhead. The sponge under the carpet is a nightmare and holds water leading to rust. Rip it all out if you can and dry the floor as best you can.

Hi Espena and welcome to our forum.
Your GTE looks like it needs lots of work so keep us informed of your progress. Will you do the work yourself?
