If that bore would clean up & you could get some one on here to sell you a good piston, maybe you could get it going very cheap. Probably would be better replacing all rings & bearing shells.

MB Factory Shop Manual does not suggest that a bore can be ' cleaned up' .. and since it is easy to pull the sleeve and put a new one in...that should be the recommended procedure... the chances a used bore can be cleaned up to the extent that it would pass the MB specs for installing a new or used piston are very very slight... perhaps bordering on fantasy....
