First, the cast iron section must be replaced. Unless the builder friend is willing to donate parts and labor and do it free, there might be delays in actually getting it done. I suspect your father may balk at the cost.
Meanwhile, use baking soda and vinegar, and simply don't tell him you did so. How would he know you did it? It's a case of "sometimes it's easier to ask forgiveness than to get permission". and if he doesn't know you did it, no forgiveness need be requested.
