Inspecting the outriggers on Chimaera / Griffith

[ohidunno]

Hello all, after a lengthy children enforced TVR hiatus I am dipping my toe back into the water.

Seems like the number one thing to check on these cars is the state of the outriggers. As a novice and assuming no ramp what is the best way to check condition when inspecting a car. I believe there are certain areas which are more prone to decay so I'm wondering if there is somewhere I can check which would give me a reasonable clue as to the overall state of the chassis?
thanks in advance!
