As they'd say on eBay; "Bargin m8"
Good one. Worth more than that if broken for bits. Hope you get it going OK though and welcome. (I'm a Chris too and a few week back was on holiday in Winterton -on Sea. Nice part of the world!)

Remember to drill a small hole at the low exhaust point to drain off that water vapour!
