Fixed gear bike

Hi guys,

My name is Sigmundur and I come from Iceland, I have been dreaming about having a fixed gear bike for one year now. The thing is that there is no bike shop here in my little country with population of 290.000 people that sells or has information about fixed gear bikes. I was spending time in my grandfathers garage and saw an old bike hanging in the ceiling. I do not know how old it is and my grandfather says that he has never seen this bike before. So it is my bike now. So if you guys could tell me what I need to buy to make it a nice ride, maybe the first fixed bike in Iceland I will send a picture of the bike as attachment.

I intend to take everything of the bike, repaint it, buy new things: saddle, rims, front brake and if I have to buy anything else, please let me know. It would be great if you guys could point out things I have to change to make this a decent ,,Fixie". Because I have never even seen one in real life.

This is the bike:
