Advice Request

Dear All,

I am looking for some general advice please if I may.

I am keen to become a Europa owner although unfortunately building isn't an 
option
due to work and family commitments.

I am therefore looking to become part of a syndicate locally if possible. I 
believe
I have found an exciting opportunity. A chap I have spoken too has pretty
much completed the whole kit, finished and signed off etc, except for engine
and instruments. I am trying to get an idea of how much it would now cost to get
this lovely machine in the air.

OK so I need to budget for engine and all ancillary parts that's around 12500 
inc
vat, I believe, if I go for a standard prop. We would need some help fitting
the engine so could someone please suggest someone and any ideas of how much
that might cost and potential hours effort required, and who could assist. Then
instruments and trim, help needed again there, I understand that could vary
depending on individual preference. At that point can anyone advise the process
and again costs for getting it through the permit and test flying etc. Im just
trying to get a very broad view on what is involved here.

A lot of very open ended questions I know and any advice gratefully appreciated,
probably best off list I guess.

I hope I don't get shot down in flames here for asking too many leading 
questions.

Obviously I intend to join the builders club, PFA etc immediately as I know 
there
is a vast wealth of information already available.

Kind Regards

Kevin
