Re: [DML] muffler heat shield

["Sean Spurlock" <sean_dmc1@xxxx>]

I'll try and get pics of the shredded heat shield. I just ordered the PJ 
grady replacement. It looks like a belt broke and just shredded the shield. 
Asbestos was all over the engine, and I am still trying to clean it all up. 
I have no idea how long it has been like this since I just bought the car 
last weekend. Thanks guys!!!
