New member question - Scrap or new engine?

[itsjk]

Vectra 2.8 V6 Turbo Estate (55) with 75,000 miles. Engine damaged by driving into water. Should I scrap it? Was a lovely car with some body damage making it an ideal workhorse. Bought July 2023 for £1500. Looking for similar as replacement

Hi there, is the damage easily fixable, and would it be a cheaper option than replacing whole car?

Even buying a 2nd engine the cost of doing it would(garage) be expensive
