Basket has seen better days imho, plates will likely be much worse so will sure need replacing but new plates will wear quicker in a worn basket so its probably false economy not to replace it.

I'd be a bit wary of those clutch holding tools that bolt to the crankcase as its not designed to withstand that kind of force and may break, and then it gets expensive. The ones with the long handles that rest on the floor are probably a better bet.
