What you think about these piston skirts / sides? Can i reuse these or are they bad?
Normal wear?

Can you feel any big gouges with your nails? Some scuffing is normal, and I've reused pistons like that before with no issues, but it comes down to a texture thing

I'll agree here.

Those pistons don't look bad at all, I would even venture to guess they are fairly low mileage. The condition of the cylinder walls is much more important. What do they look like? Taper, cross-hatch, gouges, etc.

Normal wear & tear. Scuff the cylinders with ball hone & new rings if not too out of round
