Listers much more qualified than I, have said the rear suspension geometry is not good, not good at all.  The very short upper arm will give significant camber changes as the suspension goes through its travel.  This will lead to very interesting bump-induced, rear wheel steering.

Bump steer is not good, and the chain drive probably won't last long

After looking at the picture closely, it looks like th geometry of the rear suspension would cause alot of camber change on bumps!
