Technical

	Detail of rear off-side brake assembly.
	Detail of shoe return spring - Missy's rear axle is actually a Roadster tube axle.  These axles use a different return spring to the GT and late Roadster Salisbury (banjo) axles - a Salisbury axle return spring is held in comparison.

Rust detail

Summer 2003 - 4 years of daily use and outside storage in the Great British weather has resulted in rust forming.  All four seams are going (common problem), as is a small section under the windscreen surround.  The near-side door is in much worse condition than the off-side door, which has presumably been replaced.

	Detail of front off-side rust under windscreen surround.  Water is penetrating the surface, running down the back of the dashboard and dripping from underneath the fuel gauge onto the carpet.  Rust is solid and not flaky.
	Detail of front near-side seam (off-side is similar).  This shows no visible rust on the wing itself (suspect both wings replaced) but some bubbling on the inner side of the seam.  Rust is solid and not flaky.
	Detail of rear near-side seam (off-side is similar).  The rear seams are badly bubbling, allowing water to leak into the pockets either side of the spare wheel well in the boot.  Rust is solid and not flaky.
	Detail of near-side door.  Rust is showing on the outside of the door skin and is presumably forming where the inner door frame meets the outer skin.  Rust is solid and cosmetic only; the door bottom is rusting but is not visible from outside and is still solid.

Paint details

Red is a dreadful colour for fading; Missy has had to live outside for 4 years and as a result her Tartan Red paint has faded and is beginning to bloom on the exposed top surfaces.

	Detail of blooming and fading on bonnet.
	Detail of bonnet before and after being attacked with T-Cut.
	Detail of blooming on roof.  Presumably a result of poor preparation prior to respray before purchase in 1999.
	Detail of roof before and after T-Cut.
