I would still be tempted to give it a polish if its all coming apart, and get it measured (or diy with plastigauge) to make sure you get the bearing size perfect. If the shells are that bad then its a a worthwhile precaution.

Shells are knackered as dave a has pointed out. I would want the crank polished at the very least.
