Anyone know what parts I will need to repair this? Will I need a new lock cylinder made?

What I did was I went to an autowrecker, got them to wrench me off another handle and lock, got it painted, then took it to a locksmith and had the lock configured to my key. However yours doesn’t seem as bad as mine (from the picture) so you may not need to go as far as I did.

Sorry I couldn’t resist.

You could always look into a full set of Solex lock cylinders. I’m not too sure what they are available for, but I have heard nothing but good reviews about them from the Corolla guys on Dori Kaze.
