Guy,
Sounds like Butch may be offering to help you out a little on Saturday. Oil changes would be a good place to start your mechanical career. K's are the simplest cars i've ever seen to do an oil change on. The front struts are not a great job for a new mechanic but, someone could show you how to do it. The brake booster is a fairly simple bolt on job, if its really bad.
The thing is an old car will bankrupt you if you have to pay someone to do all the work. Come to think of it so will a new one today. It would really help Alan to stay on the road if you begin to do some of the easier jobs yourself. None of us were born mechanics, we all learned.
