Default HELP!! Is my Textralia salvagable? Huge detailed pics inside!

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone thinks that any part of my Textralia OZ700 is salvagable... The flywheel bolts backed out and the shop I took it too (not a performance shop, just a place my dad trusts to install clutches... I installed the Textralia by myself with the help of some friends (thanks, Danny )) said it was toast. Any feedback would be GREATLY appreciated!

Here are the pictures, I just posted links because they were taken on max detail with my 5mp camera... so they are a tad large.

The disk looks close to being worn to the rivets, id replace it. And resurface that flywheel.

No I didn't, so it's totally my fault... Just wondering if any of it's able to be reused.

There's still lots of meat left on the clutch disc, I just don't know if it was ruined by being overheated and i'm not sure if it is glazed beyond repair or not... I know at the very least, if the flywheel was salvagable, I'd have to get it resurfaced. What about the pressure plate? Can you get those resurfaced aswell? I'm pretty set on that fact that I'm going to have to buy an LS7 clutch (at least) but if I could reuse part of my OZ700 setup and it cost the same or less than an LS7 clutch, I'd just stick with the textralia...

I'd imagine you could find out who HPE, SGP, or any other performance shop in Houston uses, and go to them. Let a machine shop do it - O'Reillys might resurface it unevenly or something.

The yellow pages, look for a trans or clutch shop.
