Since the car was not running the charred wires you will need to replace are all on the high current cranking side of the electrical system since the ignition key was not in the run position.
Both battery cables will need to get replaced .
The battery hot wire that runs thru the steel tube down to the starter is likely melted to the inside of that tube.
The wire running from the starter up to the coil that provides a full 12 volts when cranking needs to be inspected as does the wire from the ignition switch that powers the starter solenoid.
Both of these are two small gauge wires in the harness that goes down to the starter.
When everything is reassembled and before you hook the battery back up confirm with a volt ohm meter that from the end of the battery hot cable ( red) to the motor that there is a open circuit and then all should be good to go.
