Should I worry about rust on a Fiat 500?

Will the floor panels of a 1937 Fiat Topolino have any rust issues to be aware of?

Despite the fact these cars don't have much metal, what they do have can really rot. Any rust in the floors will present critical structural issues - but you'll also want to check the battery box, spare wheel well, window surrounds... everywhere basically.
