Was going to do a full build but now realise that this is going to be difficult with what parts i have to do the build, this is what i've got
frame ( merlin ) shimano v brakes, wheels handlebars, bottom bracket ( square type ) stem.
So i guess i'm asking what else do i need to get going and can anyone point me in the right direction of where to look at guides on building your own bikes?

You need:

Forks*
Tyres
Tubes (or tubeless kit)
Crankset (that fits the square BB you have (or just buy a hollow tech 2))
Chain
Single speed conversion kit and tensioner ( http://superstar.tibolts.co.uk/index.php?cPath=58)**
Brake cables and outer
Grips
Pedals
Saddle
Post of the correct diameter

As for build guide, the park bike mainteance website should teach you all you need. http://www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help

* Unless you're good at wheelies
**You could ghetto this with an old cassette and some plumbing pipe, but it'll be/look sh1t
