Done it now

Hi,
I just asked a question in the bit's for sale section, then the next post I read mentioned people not introducing themselves.
So here I am saying Hi and looking through all your stuff for guidance on how to drag a mis-matched, tormented ( by the PO) GT380A (B.J.K.L.M..I said it was a mongrel didn't I) back to life over the next couple of months or so.
A brief description: I bought what I thought was an oily rag resto off eBay.
Looking good in the photos. Looked good in the metal, some problems but haven't we all, wrong.
Just getting started with it but work keeps getting in the way. Low compression but it's a 2 stroke, no biggie. Tops off, right hand piston has been peppered, centre pot is clean but looks odd, left pot is the same as the middle.
Vernier shows 54.9ish on all bores but the left piston has felt tip marks.. STD..
Sure enough, loads of clicky click on Left and centre pistons.
PO had bought 2nd hand original pistons but not bothered measuring the barrels.
So the scene is set for the rest of the job.
