EDITED BY MAX due to inaccuracy...

Lift the car in the air, remove subframe. Get an angle grinder with a twist knot wire wheel. Strip all rust and cover it with the shit in that article, then get the engine bay repainted.

Do the same to the subframe, but do some welding on it for extra reinforcement, and get it powdercoated for lifetime protection.

Clutch is 100% ACT. The logo is still on it, and it's trademark yellow.

Here:

EDIT: I would also recommend to get a non abs master cylinder, and remove the ABS delete kit mess, then order and bend a new single hardline to the right front wheel.

Thanks for the answers guys, I kind of figured it was ACT.

Max777, getting rid of the ABS delete kit is on the agenda for sure. I have still been entertaining the thought of keeping ABS, but I still can't stomach the cost of the new pump. As to the rust, I guess it is not that bad, just looks bad. I am noticing some crushing at the jack points though under the runners, that has me a bit worried too. I do plan to do some serious grinding on the engine bay one of these weekends.
