Do you know what happened?
Is it mechanically locked, seized? or electrically locked, won't start?

First, check the battery, it's in the trunk. Make sure it's good.

To answer your question, YES you can fix it.

If you can't, somebody else can. It is that easy

Be prepared for the added issues that will probably arise once you have an engine and you are able to drive around. It just coms with the territory...

The cost of repair will be close to if not more than what the car is worth, keep the car as a parts car and move on.
