get an exedy clutch and a slave cylinder is like $30 shipped, thats only like $150 for parts, and if your dad can't do it find a local buddy, even a shop will only charge $500 for the whole thing, thats not too bad. Pick up some extra shifts and it's all yours.

well since i had $1000 saved up i just decided to get it fixed asap... which yes inturn is costing me more money but i need a car (i cant get to school or work and it sucks)... so now my car funds took a great dive, but my car will be fixed and ready by monday... i know i could have saved a lot by doing it myself and i have no doubt that i could have done the job myself, but i don't have a shop and i wouldn't have been able to do it until it dried up and warmed up a little
