What BW says is absolutely true.
The design of the structure in the rear did not have much consideration for longevity to it.
It was a "performance" design from the era by a Formula 1 race car designer.
In addition to a little bracing up in the rear another way of adding needed adjustability would be to use the height adjustable coil overs currently available.
