The inner wheelwell liner is made of fiberglass, and it's held in by a handful of bolts. After removing the bolts, it takes a bit of gymnastics to get the thing out of the wheelwell. After removal, the front of the engine is visible.
The silver pipe in front is a coolant line. Most cars have molded rubber lines in the entire cooling system. This car has a bunch of thin-wall aluminum piping that's connected by short pieces of rubber hose. In fact, the only molded hose is a 90 degree bend at the top of the radiator. From this angle, it doesn't look bad. Unbolt the A/C compressor, remove the accessory belts and the cam covers and the timing belts will be easy to reach.
