I really just need brakes, which is proving problematic due to the drop on the rear, probably going for Tektro R556 but can only find them in sets and they will be too long for the front.

Wow!!! The Slug, that looks awesome (said in best American accent). Really very nice for what was meant to be a beater! Are those the 501 forks? Do you need front and rear brakes if it is going to be fixed?
