Parts Shopping turns into PT job

So I see this C/L ad for a 2000 Mustang GT w/5spd that's being parted out. I called the guy and it's at his shop. On my way home I stop to look at this car and it's got pretty much everything I need for my bird. As I'm talking to the guy he says "Hey how about working here part time and we can work out a deal on the parts you need." So it looks like I'll be taking a few parts off the GT and putting them on a V6 mustang and parting out the rest of the GT. Then I'll be rebuilding a Ranger 4X4 for him. In a few weeks when I get to parting out the GT, I'll post a list of what'll be for sale in the correct area.

its funny how things seem to work out.
at the end of the day "real" good and reliable help is almost a distant dream for many small buissness owners.

I work in a small body shop. That's where I did the body work & paint on my car. It's been slow and not just for us.

Nice! I get that from people sometimes as well, I usually tell them no offense but I'd rather just pay for the parts. I enjoy my free time too much, to sell off what little I do have left. I understand though, incredibly hard to find quality help these days that will actually last....No one wants to work for someone else anymore. Too many chiefs, not enough indians here.
