One of my good buddies carrera is in need of some serious maintenance. It needs a clutch, shifter/ coupler rebuild, pedal console rebuild, all of the typical fuel lines are dry rotted, and while we are in there , plugs, filters, valve adjust , trans fluid change, a couple of oil lines etc..
He is short on cash, he is a great guy, and always helps me out when I need him, and he is a good worker, (lousy mechanic though).
I offered to do all of this work, and supply most of the parts, ( I have most of the stuff in stock) except the clutch, and in exchange , I am asking for his help to paint my parents house this spring. It is a typical size older 3 bedroom home , 2 story, not very high .
I figure that I can have all of the work done to his car in one weekend, but it will probably take us 2 weekends, maybe more to paint the house.
While It will take me less time to mend his old cabriolet, than it will to paint the house, the retail cost of the two jobs are probably pretty close.
What do you guys think? Am I giving him a fair shake?
