Default Damaged radiator

I unfortunately damaged the radiator on my Xjr. Do you think I can still use it ?

Not sure how you mashed that up, but i would bet a water pump was involved. For the amount of fin damage the decrease in heat transfer would not amount to much. If it isn't leaking under pressure don't worry about it, you should be fine.

You can straighten the fins back up using a small screwdriver (and a lot of patience).
