Seeing as how it's 2:30AM I didn't take any pictures, and we worked quickly. His starter seems to be toast, even jumping it didn't work. Probably a stuck bendix or bad solenoid. Cluster stuff also seems to have a bad ground or power source.

Overall it's a nice car! Definitely had some front end work done to it in the last few years, and despite having a bad starter we were able to push start it no problem.
