Not a lot. BUT it is the beginning of worse things...

For a "band-aid", I'd take the car to a place that does steam cleaning-
have the underside cleaned, then have it sprayed with oil (or WaxOyl), or
whatever will keep the rust at bay until you can treat it properly.
That's what I intend to do with the TR4 once it's mobile. I think it
costs $50, and I get a free wash & wax. (Hope it's not an automatic car
wash- the TR4 might get stuck on one of the rollers :-))
