It varies a little depending on age but some have a transverse cross brace under the floor at the rear of the front cross member. There is also a ladder brace that runs rearwards from the rear bulkhead to the rear subframe which braces up the inner mounting points for the bottom suspension arms in the rear. The other one that I know of is across the cockpit behind the seats from the top seatbelt mounts on each side.
