It was a 'bit' rough around the edges but it moved under its own power, and even did a few donuts. Its such a shame we have to disassemble it now to paint the frame, but hopefully we'll have it back running again in a week.

It was in between a bunch of buildings. Couldn't have used any more space anyways, we were limited to 1st gear. At the end of the video you see the car stop because we broke the weld on a temporary axle. We were all worried we broke our diff or the ring and pinion or something.
