Pulled the power from my previous car to re-use in my new car.  Noticed a little bit of discoloration from where it was ran through the fender.

 

Does this look ok to use?

if the insulator isn't punctured through to the copper I'd say its ok. but 1/0 welding wire is cheap if you need to replace it.  

You probably could but I rather be safe than sorry, so I would just buy new wire but that's just me.

I checked around for any sort of cracking and the condition of it still seems to be great.  Its not brittle or cracked at all.  I'm not sure if it got discolored from moving around or what.

I was gonna suggest cutting that piece off and placing a fuse holder there if it was bad and you didn't want to buy a new run.

That was the initial plan, but turns out the wire is pretty much already the exact length i need for the new car.  So its either run this one, or just pick up a new run.

I say put a piece of heat shrink on it myself

good idea.  I think I'll go that route.  Thanks!

No cracks? It's fine, no need to treat it.

The isolation deformed from being pushed against a surface.
