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

Depends how bad it is, if there is corrosion all through it and the fins are buggered, i wouldnt bother.
also depends if you have a good radiator bloke in town aswell, as Taily said take it in and they will tell you straight away if its ok to repair, if not sell it for scrap.

Yeah, its not in that good of condition.. It looks like the bottom of the radiator has hit the harmonic balancer at some stage.. So I definatley don't think it will be able to be repaired..
