Take some sand paper and hit the end of it and make it nice and shiny and you'll be good to go

It looks okay if you ask me, just a little dirty. You can throw a wire sleeve on it and tape it up to try and protect it from the elements. But I wouldn't worry about replacing it, unless you are looking to upgrade. In which case, you should contact a guy named Jon (username 5-90 on this forum). He runs a business called Kelley's Work in Progress and sells basically thicker battery cables. Check out his website here:.

Add the grounds as suggested in my write-up. You'll be fine.
