Default Clutch question...pics inside

Long story short, I have had some clutch engagement issues, most likely from a faulty master and/or slave. Anyways, the clutch is pictured below.
The clutch disc has some material missing in tiny chunks and there are scrape marks along the disc with material missing as well. Its only on the flywheel side of the disc. There are also large hot spots on the flywheel and pressure plate. This clutch only has maybe 500 miles on it. It is a textralia.

My question is this....Should I put this clutch back in the car with new hydraulics or should I buy an entirely new clutch.
Quick run down on the car....Its a 00 SS with a 402 LS2, Moser 9", full suspension, about 500 rwhp.

Here are some pictures, but Im not sure If you can really tell from them...

flywheel doesn't seem too bad to me.

what's the thickness of the disc? how much is worn down?

i would resurface the flywheel, and replace the hydrolics.

Hmm not sure on the thickness. I have no measured it. Other than wear on the disk, is there anything else I should be concerned about?

I think it looks fine and I would re install. Im sure other people who have used there Textrilla a little longer...say over 10K miles with plenty of hard dumps can verify to the life of these clutches.
