Radiator, repair or replace?

[83 WB_Ute]

Well i picked up the radiator yesturday, both tanks off, cleaned core, re-soldered, painted and pressure tested, could not believe how cheap it was $100.
The bloke said never ever throw out an original 3 core, they are so far superior to anything made now, he said it will out last any new one now.
very happy with that, and it will give me somthing to do this weekend so i picked up all the new hoses and nulon 4 year just to make it a proper job.

I have a WB 3 core V8 radiator here that came from a WB one tonner, it is basically rooted.. lol Some of the fins are completely flat and I have no idea on the condition of the insides.. haha

So should I scrap it or get it reco'd for when I put the V8 in my ute???

Tony Reakes did my rad and heater core years ago. Still going strong. I went for a 5 row as I have AC. It was overkill though. Have trouble getting it to run hot enough now.
It depends on how well maintained your cooling system was as to how rooted your rad is as well I suppose.

The radiator is in good condition, always had coolant and has never run over quater on the temp guage on 38 deg days, but just noticed a couple of drip on the ground the other day probably the freezing weather we are having down here at the moment, i think i wll try to get it repaired as it looks like the solder on the top bit of the tank, we have an excellent radiator bloke down here called phoenix.
All the core parts and fins look excellent and no sign of corrosion anywhere. Just thought i would asked as obviously the alloy ones are pretty cheap, but as the old saying goes you get what you pay for!

I've got a brand new WB V8 radiator still in its circa 1985 box. I have kept it just in case I ever have a WB V8 again. It is only a 2 core but that is fine for most 253 and 308 WB's.
