I'm not reading over 185 pages to try to figure this whole thing out....Let me see if I understand it right....

Some guy came in and requested you do work on his car.

He didn't pay for the work

You are in the process of getting a mechanics lien

You want everyone else to pay for the "personal expenses" you incurred while building said deadbeats car, while you are still getting the car? So you want everyone here to pay for all the things you bought to put on to this car which you will likely be reimbursed for from the finance company anyway? Hmmmm I'm gonna say that "Joe Dono" is an IDIOT for trying to scam you guys, but you guys are not much better for trying to scam US into paying for your mistake. Thanks anyway, I'll pass.
