Not to be a downer but unless you just have a strong sentimental attachment to this particular car I wouldn't try to revive it. Seems like more of a parts car to me expecially with the rust.
When these aluminum engines sit for so long you start to get some corrosion on the rings against the cylinder walls and then when the engine turns over you get instant damage. Really would have been better to fill the cylinders with atf fluid and let it sit for a while then turn the engine just a little manually and let it sit some more.
You are looking at a lot of work most likely - clutch, timing belt, water pump, oil pan gasket, turbo replacement, cracked exhaust manifold, possible bad injector connectors, fried battery harness, dry rotted oil/water linesn dead tires, brake fluid lines etc etc not to mention possible worn tranny etc and most likely a nasty headgasket....
Hats off to you if you proceed but once you are done at best you'll have a 944 turbo worth 4k. My two cents would be to sell that for parts or part it yourself and buy a running 944 turbo if that is what you really wanted anyways....
