Red Devil 1.9 D-Turbo

Hey guys,

So I started doing some work on my car so far. I stripped the cage out so that I could convert it to a 5 seater soon (currently only 2).

I changed my gearknob, its not the original but its ok for now I guess.
I went ahead and threw in a set of lock nuts to keep my wheels safe, not that anyone would steal them anyone I hope

Now onto the parts where I need some help please

I have attached 3 pics, the first is showing a cable that I found while trying to change my pollen filter which is identical to the following item.

What does that cable do? I also noted that the little electric motor that controls the plastic flaps dont move, looks like the lil motor is damaged (one just behind where my hand is).
Furthermore HOW the hell do I change that filter? No clue where the thing sits even, stripped half of the dash out and couldnt see it.

Next was the clutch, its been feeling really hard! To the point where my knee has started giving me some annoyance. I noticed that when I messed with the clutch and stamped a bit it was better. But it goes back to being hard. What does that little spring and shock thingy do? How do you remove it if needed?

Lastly my clutch cable doesnt look like its sitting correctly, from that pic, do you think the angle of the cable coming in is incorrect? Could that contribute to a hard pedal?

Thanks for the help guys, really appreciate it...

Oh and whats next to do:
- Fix clips on the doors - the ones that hold the panel onto the metal frame
- Put the rear seats in and re-register
- Reupholster the seats and get the door lining sorted (its peeling off)
- Put my speedo sensor in so my rev counter works correctly
- Replace some rubber piping for air/oil return as there are some leaks here and there
- Put in my AC Delco Glow Plugs



Have a good day all!
