Default clutch not engaging on 3dr

Basicly im having problems with the clutch on my 3dr and in an atempt to improve situation things have gone tits up.

The flywheel has been skimmed,clutch i got of a mate is an ap item and is sound,cover plate theres no damage etc yet after having it installed couldnt get car into gear! after awhile chap who fitted it managed to get it into gear etc thinking things were on the up when i came to try and drive it theres terrible judder on bitting point and when into 2nd gear clutch slipps like mad basicly undrivable!! Now with all this in mind could the problem lie with the adjuster on the pedal? because im losing patience now thing is stuck at work and cant drive it.

everytime sort something on this car end up going backwards and another problem arises very seriusly fed up with car now and may well just sell up and be rid as i want a car i can drive n enjoy which just aint happening right now.
