Default 90Q wont start

So, my car has decided to not start. I checked the battery and it has good charge. I also only hear the fuel pump prime every couple of key turns. All of the lights dim when i try to crank as if the battery is dead. My first thought was the starter. But im wondering if i dont have a complete wiring cluster f*ck somewhere. I should mention that this is a 1990 90 quattro 20v, with a 10v motor swap. (I didnt do it and i dont know the person who did, i would b*tch slap them if i could)Also, when i turn the key to try and crank, the rpm gauge floats up sometimes. Any and all help is deeply appreciated.

Wow, i feel like a dumbass. I took the battery out to put on the trickle charger. (been having a battery drain issue, -different thread-) And i was in a hurry when i put it back in and just slid the terminals over the posts. So it wasnt starting because the it had a bad connection. . . so if you are having this problem, check your battery connections.
