Message	You need to be very careful Dan. While I wouldnt hesitate to help someone out, it would be on the premise that THEY are doing the job and *I* will assist them. Sure you may end up turning a few wrenches while they watch, but make sure that is the premise going in. I dunno what you feel is your competency level is with these cars, but you are inviting a major major headache if you let people believe that you are the fix-my-Z guy and let them just dump their neglected problems on you and charge them for your time in $. Me personally, I wouldnt do any maintenance or "fixing".....the most I'd do for anyone is help them install mods or delete stuff and again, I'd make them do the work at my garage with my tools with me helping out to make sure the car leaves at the end of the day.
