I had a beat-up '84 900S that I bought cheaply as my daily driver a few years back. Anyway, when driving I'd notice the center console around the shifter would get warm and if I had coins in the little coin holder they'd be hot to the touch. It had to remove the front seats and carpets for some reason, I think I was doing some rust repair, and I was stunned by what I found. The heat shield had long since rotted away which burned the undercoating and paint off allowing that part of the floor/exhaust tunnel to rot away leaving a whole literally big enough to drop a basketball through with open insulation just a couple of inches above the cat. At this point I decided to just junk the car as it had a few other problems such as a really leaky steering rack. I figure I still got my money's worth with it. I just checked the condition of the heat shield of my '85 900S last weekend and it is, fortunately, intact.
