Hard to go wrong for £25!
Check Sheldon Brown, he covers the problems you'll encounter and his cribsheets are useful references.
The actual building of a bike is pretty straightforward, what will catch you out are the different standards & sizes of parts and their compatibility.
Search the Current Projects sub-forum for terms such as "conversion" or "first" etc: you'll find plenty of threads that cover what you're doing.
You can also start your own thread to document the build and ask specific questions.
