Default how much would you charge

Hey guys... My uncle knows a guy who needs a head gasket replaced on a d-series civic... I would also do the timing belt and water pump while its apart but I dont know how much to charge him cause I ususally do all of my own work and work on my friends cars... How much would you charge?
