Hi,welcome to birty's and to Mk 1 Cherokee rust. Yes it can all be fixed  but to be viable you need to be able to do it yourself . All typical places where they go and if you keep digging you will find more. Check boot floor above spring hangers and under rear seat where font of rear spring is located. Just spent 6 weeks of weekends on and off doing mine,not a nice job .Good luck

Pull all the carpets out and have a good look. You may need to kick the shit out of your mechanic and cut your losses.

Sorry.
