from that photo it looks like a random core of the right size and some poorly welded end tanks.
You really do need to ask question when a radiator like that can be sold for less then stock replacement one. More so when a stock one will cool the engine with no problems and have a life of 8 to 10 years, (plastic end tanks give up at 8 to 10 years) |

Hi, shame you don't like plastic tanks. I have a near new double row aluminium core (fitted and removed june this year, car died before it left the mechanics) you could have had for $70 plus postage if you can't pick it up from mount druitt 2770
