Default long story short

i bought a 92 sc300 to transfer my motor, tranny & interior from my old crashed 92 sc300. well as we were stripping new sc300 all the electrical harnesses were either cut or mangled. now i dont have time to do the whole swap by myself so im having my buddy do it. he is charging me 300 to swap motor tranny & interior pieces. now to pull alllll the electrical harnesses from old crashed sc in to new sc he is charging a total of $500 i need some opinions.

Why do you need opinions?

^^^ what he said.. What you can do is on a weekend swap over all the interior and harness and have him do the rest.

Thats a pretty good deal he's being easy on you cause you're his friend but that takes time you should be thanking him as you pay him for giving you an above fair price.
