just to add to your list

floor under pedals where bulkhead joins the floor.

mine had been flintstonisized in that area for better fuel economy

front body to chassis mounts

body to chassis mounts in front of rear wheel arch.

the best way to check the rear seat belt mounts is to grab the seatbelt and give it a good pull.you will see and hear any movement.
they rot behind the plate in the photo so hard to tell just looking at that.

I'm starting to think I would be better off starting with something like this

Looking at the 1st picture, that looks like it may be rusying away under the uderseal, you need to get under there with a screw driver and have a proper prod.

Hard to tell from the photos like has been said, you need to have a poke about really! make a list before you go and check off the areas whilst your there you sometimes forget and get carried away! Most 4x4s of that age will need some welding by now you have to expect it, you just dont want one that is too far gone!! Paying a higher price is no guarantee it will be in better shape. Good luck and give me a shout if needed.
