Hi there,

I would start with getting the radiator repaired, and replace the thermostat and the radiator cap as well. make sure the cooling fans are working, and have the system pressure tested for leaks. If you are still experiencing over heating problems. you will have to get the engine checked for a head problem, but get the cooling system sorted out first.
