Unhappy Hail stones batter a 124 diesel in NH

I can't believe what happened on July 11 in Exeter NH. Hailstones nearly baseball size battered my 1987 300D.
Windshield still in one piece but cracked all over. Roof, hood, trunk lid and other surfaces have a total of at least 100 dimples from 1/8 to 1/4 inch in depth.
Mechanically, of course, no effect whatsoever.
And of course, I do not have comprehensive insurance (which is ok, it would be declared a total wreck I'm sure and I would receive very little compensation).
My choices are:
1)drive as is (with windshield replaced) and just accept the appearance.
2) scrap it - good engine etc (although the #14 head)
3) do something (don't know what) to mitigate the appearance.

Has anyone been thru something like this? Any suggestions?
