Wow, that's a lot of crap. I have to figure out why the L side radiator fan isn't coming on at all, so I might as well clean everything while I'm there.

Product Idea.
Retro kit that allows a "trap door" approach to this job. Given the location of the radiators, one would expect this maint. to be done on a regular basis.
Inventors, lets go! :dance:

You can access the fan (almost) by just removing the inner fender liner.

How about combining the quick access door with access to the trunk? Two problems with one kit?

The trunk issue is easily resolved by putting the release cable in the threaded hole for the tow hook.

Took the car for a Sunday drive, no difference in temp gauge readings. I guess those radiators are way oversized for the heat load of our cars.
