I'm not sure what happened to that BB square. From the looks of it, it didnt' damage the frame, but then again, I'd have to ride it to be able to tell. As far as the wheels they have some rust on them but otherwise lookin ok and rideable. Pretty heavy though, like I said before. I read some columns on FGs and it seems like I'd need to get a new "flip-flop" hub for the back so I can run a fixed gear and a freewheel on either side of the hub. I'd prefer to do it that way. The tyres are Specialized Armadillo something, so they don't look too bad ... actually they aren't all cracked up at all; must be the indoor storage.

Can I just take a walk over to the local LBS and ask for junk parts? I'll check on eBay about the rear wheel.
