The engine builder probably left for the night after putting the pistons on the rods, and then forgot to check the wrist pin circlips the next day.
Were ALL of them missing?
Help me out on the picture above, ... it looks like there is a rusty wrist pin circlip installed
Good thing you took your engine apart to check everything. That would have been some serious scoring on your cyl jugs
Damage piston
Last owner hade to much boost and damage the Piston, since then the car had been not running.
They have mounted new cp pistons, and it looks like the used some old circlips. 2 where not mounted properly. And the rust i Guess it comes from THE old circlips, because everything else looks fine.
The cylinder are also ok.
The Piston rings has not been grinded to correct measuments.
Parts missing is wastegate, k-jetronic injectors and housing and the camshaft housing "plate"(bad English).
I getting rid of k-jetronic for now and installing modern stuff.
But i Keep all the parts so i can get it back to original when its time to sell.

I hope i get the car up and running this summer.

Looks to be out of round a common issue. Looks fairly significant but you might be able to have the nikasil chemically stripped and new nikasil applied and honed to bring them back into tolerance. Although you are measuring awfully high on the cylinder so it might not be as bad as you might think.
