I doubt it will run very well. I have seen motors with lightly scratched pistons continue to run well but that looks pretty bad. The only hope is to use a fuel that leaves a lot of carbon buildup behind to fill the scratches but I doubt even that will help with this one.

Also, if you do decide to rebuild it, check your rear bearing.
