Off to the shop

Replaced the center support and guibo, but the driveshaft still hit the cat. Decided to take it to a local shop as I have no comparison for an e28 to know if it's a driveline issue or an exhaust issue. The mechanic put it up on a lift and it appears clear that the exhaust is being held pretty high, which might be the main issue. It looks like the exhaust was welded with sagging motor mounts, now with proper mounts it's too high. He'll tinker on it a little and see if he can get a 2nd set of eyes on the tuning. I normally do this with most project cars just as a 2nd set of eyes to pickup anything I've missed. Hopefully I'll have it back in a day or two.
