Smile Starter problems

Hi all I'm new to this so any help would be much appriciated! I have a 1990 Volvo 480 Es model which has been sitting for over the last 10 years, it was my mums car. In a bid to bring it back to life I am attempting to get it running and driving again but have run into a couple of problems.

First problem, I have a good battery and jump started it, when I turn the key all the lights come on, dashboard lights up, headlights work etc, when I then turn the key to crank, the lights dim a small amount but nothing happens, I'm not even getting a click from the starter

Second problem, thinking it was the starter, I said I'd test it and probably pull the starter, problem being it seems that I can't get at the starter unless I pull the motor, wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to get at the starter without pulling out the whole motor.

Again any help would be amazing as its my first Volvo project car, thanks!
