Yes, more pictures. I've seen much worse restored.

Have you tried turning the motor over? Start by removing the spark plugs and squirting some WD40 or penetrating oil into the holes then turn it over by hand before using the starter. If its smooth, then put some oil into the plug holes and crank it with the starter. I'd cycle the starter on and off a half a dozen times, no longer than 30sec each time, with a long pause in between for the starter to cool. Now do a compression test to see what you're dealing with. Oh yeah make sure there is fresh oil in it before cranking with the starter.
