if the belt slipped, your gonna prolly need the head rebuilt due to bent valves

Yep, and a big, 'plus one' to that !

Beavis, make sure the shop does a compression test (if they can, in the condition it's in)

Remember, a few of your valves were open (hanging down) and when the belt slipped the valves didn't return, the pistons were going up and probably banged into them. (read damage here)

Just by putting a new t-belt on it won't cure valve/head damage.
You may be better off taking your car to a shop that has had experience with a Daewoo engine.

keep us posted
and
don't give up, this has happened to a few of us.
