Can someone tell me the condition of this clutch/flywheel?

This is a clutch for a T56 on an LT1 F-body. Supposedly this is a new clutch with about 1,000 miles on it.

I don't know shit about looking at a clutch/flywheel and assessing its condition, but the flywheel looks scary to me. Don't know about the clutch disc, but I don't like the places where it looks like the friction material is "scuffed."

What do you guys think?

flywheel is horrible, looks like it might be a newer disk and pressure place, but looks like they just slapped in on, didn't machine/replace the flywheel

That's what I was thinking.

Can I just have the flywheel machined or is the clutch now junk too?
 
So I can reuse the disc with a turned flywheel? Should I turn the pressure plate too or is that not necessary/possible?
 
Believe me it's tempting, but it's a stock replacement which I know won't hold up in the long run. I reaaaaally don't want to spend the god-awful amount of money on a street-twin right now which is really the only good aftermarket clutch for an LT1, and I'm not about to buy another stock replacement kit knowing that it won't last. I'd like to just reuse this one and hopefully it'll hold until I can score a deal/better afford a street-twin.
