So ... the insurance company totaled the car instead of replacing the hood?
Not going to buff out, fine, but the cost of a new hood and paint matching

The problem with the diesel starters is that usually the coil windings
have acquired too much resistance, and if you don't replace the
armature, you will still have a weak, high current draw starter. New
