I am coming from the 944 world and those bodies are galvanized.

Targa or coupe? If it's a coupe, start with the chassis number. It will be something like 91101xyyyy. If x=1, it's a Porsche built chassis, if x=2, it's a Karmann built chassis. Starting in 1970, the Porsche built chassis have galvanized inner sections, including the floor. All of the Targas were Porsche built. In my opinion, the Porsche built cars fare bettter for rust. Others on this board may disagree.
All of the early 911s have rust issues, however, so don't take anything for granted.
Also, if you do a search on Pelican, you should find some excellent illustrations of the trouble spots.
