if he can really do it right for 600 that's pretty good I think.  I
dunno about the flywheel, but you will need the pedals, clutch cylinders
and hoses, clutch/plate/bearing, tranny mounts of some sort cobbled
together, a tranny (duh), and for everything to be hooked up right and
proper to work like an Audi should...
