Default Birthday Girl

Happy birthday to my girl a young 59

I know you didnt always look like this so hopefully I can help you with a face lift


New face and a bit of a lift around the back

and one day you will be as good as new !.
I was hoping for paint this year but not likely as someone has booked a lot of holidays.
So will just keep chipping away at the elephant "one bite at a time"
Happy birthday good looking

There are projects and then this undertaking you ambitiously took on.
You certainly have a vision that you will fulfill.
Thank you for saving another one.

The time, effort, and expense will pay off when she's the queen of the prom.

Thank you everyone for the replies and the encouragement.
Yes its been a challenge but i have had great help from a few friends and having access to this site is a blessing.
I have been able to source parts from members here who have been more than helpful with shipping, which is probably the biggest hurdle.
Yes, I am in Melbourne, unfortunately its not the beautiful city it was, but that's for another time and topic.
Back to the elephant for another bite before we head off on another...........holiday!
