Not exactly sure what we are looking at but the ground on the inner fender is BS. Not sure what that is needed for. You should have a HOT battery cable on one side of solenoid, and the other to the starter motor. Both cables must be in good shape and the connections cleaned. The other terminal of the solenoid is to the ignition. Look up a standard ford starter diagram. the coiled wires is also BS. Never use a coiled speaker wire or whatever that is. Burnt wire is very bad but we don't know where it goes FROM. No wonder the car is not running.
