[alfa] the next project - removing dirt from the panel behind the fender on my spider

["Christopher Keen" <ckeen74@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Well, that time is coming about again.....time for another infusion of elbow 
grease or cash for the Alfa. The cash infusion was last week, so I guess 
this week is elbow grease.

I have had various people (including the guy over at Bella Macchina in 
Berkeley) suggest I remove the inner fender liner behind the front wheels to 
clear out the silt that accumulates in the rocker just behind the wheel. I 
have three concerns:

1) Pulling it apart. Unlike a modern car with fancy-pants plastic fender 
liners, this one has metal inner panels. I can't see any screws, or for that 
matter, the outline of a removable panel. How have you all gone about 
removing this panel?

2) Putting it back. Once I take it apart, I want to put it back the way it 
was. How have you sealed the panel? Also, does taking off the panel disturb 
any undercoat I should replace?

3) Where can I get POR-15 in the SF Bay Area? A few years back, someone had 
recommended an auto body supply place somewhere up in Belmont or 
thereabouts......

Thanks for any help.
