It looks like the wheel wells have some kind of sealant /adhesive that connects the rear panels to the floor panels. I don't see any welds except at the wheel well. and the support brackets. were these glued from the factory ?
 
A lot of points like that are welded and then filled with seam-sealer to help seal them. It gives the appearance of being glued while there is a weld under the sealer.
 
It might be spot welded as well, so if you're looking for a weld seam it will be much less noticible. And ditto what adsm said, body seam filler lots of places full structural welds aren't required.
 
Thanks guys , looks like aI got a small Job ahead of me ! lol.
 
If you're repairing the seams I recommend using this: 3M All-Around Autobody Sealant http://3mcollision.com/3m-all-around-autobody-sealant-08500.html. You should be able to find it at most auto parts stores.

I've used it to seal up some seams after I've welded interior body panels back in (I don't trust my welds not to leak).
