Pulleys have rust? *pics* 6-bolt swapped 2g

Turning to fellow DSMr's for advice...

I just picked up a 6-bolt swapped tsi for a pretty good price. I don't believe it was wired correctly bc there was alot of things left unconnected and it just looked overall sloppy. The 6-bolt was said to have a list of performance parts and less then 10k on rebuild. I pulled the valve cover and the head was oh so clean so I believe that to be true. Anyway after getting it somewhat wired up it wouldn't turn over, it would crank but I wouldn't it hold it long enough to see if it would fire because there was a grinding sound coming from the t-belt area.
So after pulling it apart and trying to figure out whats going on, I noticed the back of the timing cover had grooves from the pulleys which leads me to believe it's that, but also as you can see alot of the pulleys have some rust on them. Does it come off after alittle run time? Or do I replace everything now? Has anyone head of the timing belt cover rubbing on them? The t-belt looks to be in great condition however it is also riding on the edges of the cam gears?
Any input is greatly appreciated!

Definetly get yourself a new Timing Belt Kit with new Timing Tensioner and pulleys... If the belt looks new and theres no visible damage, then i would go ahead and reuse it..

The Crank Pulley i would replace also, im sure you would be able to run fine with it but you can find a used one in good condition for cheap..

Also, i would think about replacing the Exhaust manifold studs/bolts since they looks pretty rusted and can become a problem in the near future...

Looks like this guy let the car sit in the rain/snow a few times..

Thanks for the response. I was really hoping to stay away from doing another t-belt job but I guess it won't be so bad. And yes I already called up Gary at dsmgraveyard for another dampner and I'm picking it up on sunday. On another note I've been following your build and so far it's great

is there no way to clean that because I too have a little rust on my timing components. I can't afford to change them out. I already hit my limit on money I am trying to scrounge another $80 for the tensioner but that's all I can get extra. I know that needs to be replaced but I need my car on the road. They spin fine but the cars been sitting for about 3 months
