Question 200HR Proposition

Gday guys,

I've recently obtained my PPL and have completed my CPL subjects, so it's now on to my command hour-building.

A good friend of mine, who also happens to be a G1 Instructor and a current airline pilot, has offered me an aircraft which he owns to complete my hour building. Obviously, I would have to change to the 200HR course (I'm currently on the 150HR), and pay GST. However, he's offered not only to give me the aircraft at near cost, but to come along as a friend/passenger, and ensure get me to a Commercial standard. The plan would be to then present myself to a flying school to jump into a CSU, at a near-Commercial standarad and do the complete amount of flights before my eventually completing my flight test.

So essentially, I have an incredibly cheap aircraft available to me, with free instruction.

Does anyone have further thoughts/experiences on this?
