there is only a few places where a bit of the black stuff has peeled off, but the rest looks ok... so what do you guys think, safe to reuse it?

Looks good to me. I'd clean the surface of the head and manifold good before putting it back on. just make sure it's not broken anywhere.

yeah I went there last week and they didnt have an intake mani gasket left, so I'm hoping the original might still be ok

RTV OR ANAROBIC SEALER WORKS GREAT..... BUT THAT GASKET LOOKS OK, JUST WIRE WHEEL THE MANIFOLD AND CLEAN UP THE HEAD AND IT SHOULD SEAL FINE.
