Pete, I asked a friend of mine who has a '85 turbo since it was new and is very knowledgeable if he would write an article. I will let you know as soon as I hear from him.
Don't know the particulars of this car, but does it have a fusable link(s) that might have blown? Usually looks like a fat wire that usually comes off the starter positive terminal that goes to the fuse block, etc.

What about loading everything into a 40 ft seatainer / shipping container? Then have someone pick up the filled container and drop it off at your location? The containers can be purchased for $3-4K.
I can tell you what I would do based on the pictures. I would clean up the ground ends and use it. It just looks like some one could not tell the engine was running and kept trying to start it. If the teeth were ground down more than 1/4 of the total length, I would look for a replacement or having it fixed. Just IMO.
I believe that the modes were controlled by electric actuator motors depending on the car. I would check the mode motors to see if they are getting a signal to move along with the vacuum supply if it has that type of control.
