So the hood was in slightly worse condition than it looked from the photos, but only slightly. I'm not sure if I'm going to do anything about it or just ignore it yet -- depends on if I can find a junkyard hood that's the right color and how much that would cost, or how much it would cost to buy the paint and fix the original hood myself. Car paint is expensive, though, so I'll wait and see how much the final cost of my other repairs will be and how much repairing the hood would affect its value to see if it would be worth it.

Things I'm definitely buying: junkyard grille, junkyard hood latch, new heater core, junkyard seat adjuster lever thing for the driver's seat, and I'm going to pay my friend who runs a detailing business to shampoo the carpet because there's some pretty bad stains in the trunk that I'd like to get rid of.
