Usually when you're continuing to operate a severely overheating car, your rings are destroying themselves on the cylinder walls. This results in less compression, oil consumption and loss of power. Assuming this is the problem, having the engine rebuilt is the only solution for this. You can take it to a mechanic and ask them to check the compression in your cylinders, and they will tell you if this indeed the problem. A compression test won't be expensive... having the engine rebuilt is another story.
