It does'nt look that bad to me,
I have repaired far greater damage than this using a miniture gas blow lamp, 1st you must get the area very clean using Hydrochloric acid, then get some bakers fluid onto the area to be soldered, you then apply heat onto the area whilst feeding the solder onto the damaged area, you must try to localise the heat to the one tube at a time, when done pressure test to 20psi then remove any flux or acid remains by washing with soapy water, then if ok paint with matt black paint. if you feel you cannot build up the courage to do the job, look in the yellow pages for your nearest Serck Services radiator repairer and take it to them they will solder it up for you.
