Default Drop the 928 out of the 928?

Is it possible to drop the running gear out from under the chassis/body - like the pictures you see from the factory ads, all four wheels and suspension, engine, torque tube and transaxle sitting on the floor still bolted together?

Would you want to? How long would it take? Could you put it back in, "easily?"

Yeah, I saw a movie where the guts of a Rolls-Royce were dropped out of the chassis/body, so I'm inspired to ask by something Hollywood did.

That's kind of interesting...which is more work though, pulling the engine or lifting the body off? Seems like the body coming off has a lot of stuff to disconnect compared to just the engine.... steering, harness, clutch, brakes, misc. electrical, AC/heater....
Nevermind I think I just answered my next question for myself
