Since these motors are interference motors, you likely bent valves, so at a minimum, you are looking at having the head rebuilt by a machine shop, or getting a used head. I would go with a machine shop. A good shop will take it apart, tell you what parts you need, you get the parts, they put it back together and you have essentially a new head. I had a Porsche head rebuilt and the machine shop labor was about $125 and it looked and worked like new.
You will also be replacing the chains, timimg and balance shaft, likely a sprocket or two and a headgasket kit.
All told, depending on what parts you need, you can probably do it for less than $500.
If the rest of the car looks good and is in good mechanical shape, then its worth it to fix it.
