Default 98 civic hatch blown motor, should I buy as project?

This guy in my town is selling his 1998 Civic Hatchback with a blown motor. Ive been told that it has some minor body damage. Should I pick it up as a project? If so how much would you think I should get it for? I'm going to call the guy in the morning and get more info from him about it and what he wants. Just trying to get some good input from you guys since I have never gotten a blown car before. Don't want to pay too much.
Thanks

Post pics of it!

But i think prices really vary from place to place..
maybe look on craiglist and see how much cars go for around your area?
