Don't know what to do now but if I can get the document for the car I will sell it to my friend and restore it, if not I will just use it as spares.

Too good to break up for spares just because of a starting issue that can be fixed by a capable auto electrician! 
Looking at the pics, the wiring looks like its been 'worked-on' before, so needs a good once-over. At worst it's some burnt-out wiring and maybe a new starter motor or alternator. Your call of course, but far too trivial a reason to me for breaking a car up.
