The flywheel is basically what starts the car... to put it basically, the starter turns the flywheel and the flywheel spining is what cranks the car. As far as getting it fixed.. a new flywheel will run about 40 bucks, but getting someone to put it in is gonna run WAY more. Rear-end has NOTHING to do with the car not starting.

Im guessing you bought the car from the gy and towed it to your house? Or is it still at his house? As far as the wheels not spinning, are you sure the emergency brake isn't pushed in? How are you trying to spin them? By jacking the rearend up and turning them, or by trying to push the car?

Sand paper and elbow grease is te best rust killer. =)
