VW engines can become bottomless money pits real quick!
Don't forget that your original project was to get the trike running and see how it ran. I'd say get the needed parts as identified so far, put it together, and ride it around some and see how it does. Don't plan any long trips! Just putt around town till you know better what you've got.
If you have a trailer that it will fit on, great. (Plan B "Breakdown" for recovery.) If not, if you have a vehicle with a trailer hitch, you can cobble up a front wheel carrier to get it home Google will help you with ideas.
If you haven't ridden a trike, ride it a while before you start sinking $$$ into it.
Just my .02
