Stop in for a cup of coffee

My younger brother comes by last week, to get his old squarebody running. Wants to fix it up again after sitting 5 years. 4 tires, carb kit,msc leaks to fix, brakes inop. Doesent have $200 to spare never mind the couple grand in parts he will need. I said sell it. Dump it. Spend 2 grand to get 4 grand for it, list it for 3 and wave bye bye as it goes away with the first guy with 2 grand or better. Right shortly the winter is upon us and no one will be shopping for project trucks.
Im not financing his dumb ideas.
