I think your post came across as slightly insulting, but this forum is generally straight and to-the-point.
Lug lining looks worse in close-up photos. A lot of "pro" jobs will also look messy to some extent, but fine at normal distances.
I'd re-spoke the wheels conventionally, and discard any bent spokes. It may be ok to run on the front, but I wouldn't fancy it on th back, personally.
I assume you're going to use a freewheel?
