Who refitted it? You or the guy who reconditioned it?
If it was you then double check the electrical connections, are they all secure?
If it was the bloke who reconned it then get him to fix it

Sounds like the main earth connection from the bodywork/battery negative to the engine block/starter motor bolts has gone missing or is broken.
Without that main earth, and it should be a big cable the starter motor is getting it's earth via the handbrake cable, and since it's neither big enough nor designed for the job, it is going to get hot.
