Remove the heater hose and the rad hose from the t-stat cover. Remove the bottom rad hose from the water pump. Stick a garden hose in the heater hose and flush. Stick the garden hose in the heater hose nipple on the stat cover and flush. Stick the garden hose in the top rad hose and flush.
That pic is really bad and many flushes may, may not work. A cooling system doesn't get like that overnight, lots of neglect there.

About your second comment, my sister has used it as her DD the last 4+ years while I've been stationed overseas with the military and she did nothing to maintain it. I've spent thousands on it since I got it back a couple months ago and still feel like I'm scratching the surface.

FWIW, a new cooling system costs less than $250 in parts and is a walk in the park to replace.
