So, clutch is back together. Unfortunately... Reverse bleed technique applied to fill up the system, and start pumping the lever. Bubbles start...
That's a lot of breaks, and it's gonna take a lot of time to recover. All the best, kiddo.
The bits are here for the clutch. Took a while, given that it's intra-EU postal services all the way. They look to be correct at first glance,...
Slave cylinder and piston now cleaned. Lines flushed, unpleasant crud removed. New rubber mounted on the "go roundy roundy" bits that touch the...

Yeah, definitely in the plan. I already did them before even trying to turn the motor over, as a part of making sure all the bits that are...
New battery arrived today, filled and charged, and she lives autonomously. Starts instantly (that said, it is 30°C at the moment :) Just waiting...
I suspect the battery is more dead from 15 years in the garage, uncharged, with temperatures ranging from +30°C to -30°C. It's had the epsom...
