Found another cool new surprise! This is looking down at the back of my rear wheel well behind the rock/mud guard. As you can see there is a 5mm gap between where the wheel well and quarter pannel metal meet. Im surprised this isnt already rusted out. The gap is full of dirt and crap. How bad is this considering its winter? Should i park the car till it's fixed? Is there any coating on the inside of these panels? Thanks.

Normal place to happen when left dirty… I wouldn’t say to park it, but I would say to get your car fluid filmed or under coated in Lanolin and then you can attack whatever projects you have next year. If it’s minimal, clean it up first then and hit it with some rust converter before you hit it with the fluid film.
