How would you get the driveshafts in and out of the gearbox with the hubs still connected to the bottom arms and anti roll bar?

easily done, there is no fuel lines(enough fuel in carb for the distance), only one drive shaft, the engine isn't bolted in, a couple of plugs for the electrics, no gear linkages, they just start it in gear.

only one shaft that the guy underneath feeds in as the engine is lowered in. the diff would have been modified to drive only one shaft.

welded diff, no roll car, one driveshaft with no clips.

thing is, it probably took them 6 months to make the thing quick release in the first place, so really the timer should have started then
