Hi Paul
thanks for all the advice and info - what do you mean by "4 main bushes"?
Do you mean bushings; the rubber things that hold the rear suspension tight that the big bolts go through?

This could be exactly what is wrong with the rear suspension as it seems to lurch forward and backward quite a bit (maybe 3 inches of slop just guessing)
So under hard acceleration, or sloppy shifting and clutch work, and especially if you try and compression start it down a hill when you let out clutch it sounds like someone smacked the bottom rear of the car as hard as they can with a 4ft hammer.....so will guess the bushings are out and the rear axle is not halfway solid in place like it should be....this car has been flogged beyond belief - I let some teenage kids (14 year olds) visiting from Italy (nephew's friends) drive it around at an old farm for a couple days with no roads on it, and they would smash the suspension on big ruts and bumps all over the place plus they didn't know how to work a clutch either (have new one in it now) but this car still keeps on going...
