awwww thats not pretty!
Did you get all the bits out the engine?
If it did that running then your best at least dropping the oil to get rid of any swarf.
Last thing you want is a lunched engine!
If you havn't got all the bits out then you need to take the sump off and pick out what you can - if there are still bits missing then its a
fingers crossed job

I think i was fortunate killeds it as soon as it happend and when i took the bolts off the columns had not splintered so i dont think there are any
bits in the engine I think this is further confirmed by the fact there were no bits on the housing just under the clutch or on the clutch cover

That would be ideal but with the possability of redundancy i think its going to be the cheapest replacement possable for the rest of the build

I've done it a few times - and didn;t find it that hard.
If you do get a pro to do it, ask if you can watch, so you can learn and not have to pay again.

I've doen mine about 5 times because the plates keep sticking and I've not found it hard at all. It looks like you alternated the plates
okay. Did you put the final friction plate on right though? It doesn't go on like the rest? That or it looks like you maybe over torqued it?

I've done something similar with mine in the past. I didn't realise mine was set up in a such a way as that it could push the cover off
the clutch basket. It wrecked the cover plate and required a new one and a different pedal set up to prevent it happening again.
