2005 GT Hydro-locked

[hachieroger]

Greetings...I am in the process of buying a 2005 Celica GT and the engine has been "hydrolocked" (water was sucked in while the engine was running and it will not turn over now). I'm thinking it has a bent rod at the least and maybe crankshaft damage as well.

It also has body damage to the front and rear bumpers (action package) and hood.

Anybody have any experience with the crank kits/con rods on ebay?

What about the blitz body kits on ebay?

Thanks
Roger

Okay got the Celica home and posted a couple of pics. Will start pulling the engine in a couple of weeks when I get back from a work trip to NYC. I saw a thread on Corolla eng in a Celica but seemed like there was not a final answer on whether or not a a Corolla 1zzfe will work in a Celica? Anybody know for sure?

Thanks!
