Default blown clutch, bad suspension, 145K miles

I am new to Audis Just bought a 2000 tt quattro. 145k miles. missing all sorts of things like owner manual, tools from the trunk, engine covers lower front louver...
The clutch disc just fried (friends are wonderful) and it's my only vehicle. I have to do the work myself ($$$). First I have to get the shop manuals then a clutch (upgrade?). I need new suspension (upgrade?). I should replace the timing chain and I sure wish the instrument cluster worked. I only have 2,500k$ to work with so I guess I'll have to stick to OEM? I know there is a buttload of info on here and I will be taking advantage of the collective expertise but does anyone know a reliable fair priced one stop shop to get all this stuff besides the dealers? Again I'm thinking $$$.
The car is beautful and fits like a glove. I'm just new and need a little help.

Default oh ye,a and

I can rent a bay on the base for $50 for 1 mo.
I'm taking a week off and doing it my self. It should be a learning experience. The last car I had was a 94 taurus changed a head gasket on it and the last time I changed a clutch was on a 66 175 c.i. slant 6 valiant. This is going to be so much fun!?
