you/your buddy would be in for the proverbial $-shift necessitating more than just a new clutch. Even ignoring the 1st gear lock out he would have had to overcome in triple digits (let alone single)...

Your clutch was almost already gone... he probably road it hard though and burned the last bit. Yes, FW needs inspection to determine replacement but lacking more info on mileage I'm going to assume it needs done. To answer your question directly, I'd say replace rather than monkeying around w/ trying to resurface.

Good luck
