The fender rubs the cylinder head when i turn the forks.

If the fender is mounted correctly then something definitely isn't right. It looks to me like the forks are bent in the last picture you posted.

The forks dont look bent either.
I found a pull start in the tub of parts along with the carb and flywheel.
Chances are it is your neck. There is a thread on here about straightening them out with a bottle jack. Just be careful not to go too far.

If everything looks straight to my eyes then how do I know how far to bend the frame? Surely Im not supposed to base it on just the distance between the fender and engine?
The top tube should be straight. Put a true edge on the backbone. It should lay flat if not it's bent. Adjust accordingly.

Is this the one you're refering to, weezy? The detailed instructions for straightening a frame are at post #11

Having a pull start is a plus! As Evan said, something is not right as I can see marks on the front fender. Get out a straightedge and check the backbone and the forks to make sure.
