you may be able to free it up again if it is seized but it will use oil and blow smoke and not run real good.

Get someone knowledgeable to have a look at it to see if it is or not but if so it pretty much new engine or reco time.

Doesnt look good mate.

Next time, as soon as it starts overheating... get it fixed straight away. If it was the thermostat causing issues, it would have been a $20 fix. It may not cost you $1000+ to replace the engine if its totally stuffed.

Service the car often (Very least oil + filter) cause its cheaper than rebuilding it.

Take it to someone who knows...
