How much does he want for it?
There can't be as much demand for stuff over there being more expensive to source the other bits like mounts etc?
How do you go on for insurance for that type of mod?

Can't you put a small deposit on or something so he keeps it for you till you get the rest of the money together as it sounds like a minter
