I went ahead and hired a mechanic to look a little closer at the engine before its sent to the shop for the annual. Ive read so many horror stories about $30,000 overhauls that I want two sets of eyes and two different shops looking it over.

If everything goes as planed, the plane will be delivered to me next week.

Insurance is going to require that I have 25hrs dual before solo. Looks like I'll be getting some IR time in.
Nothing wrong with 25 hours make and model. That is always time well spent.

Mix air trim pump lights brakes three green ready to come aboard!
