Do you think this 2002 Honda Civic is worth fixing up?

I just came across this used 02 Honda Civic with a blown engine on Craigslist and wanted some opinions. My brother is a mechanic and could do an engine swap in a weekend which is why this one caught my eye in the first place.

The two doors on the driver's side don't seem to match so I'm guessing the back door as been replaced or repainted, but I could be wrong. So what do you guys think? Is it worth the $1,500 or so to fix it up? This would become my daily driver btw as my current Ford Ranger pick-up gets maybe 14-18 MPG. I'd really appreciate any feedback.

The engine is shot.body damage.cars done over 200,000 miles…14 years old… You are buying trouble

If you can get the car for close to scrap price and want to go through the effort then sure. If it is beat up and has loads of miles it is worth less than $2000 running and driving, so consider how valuable your time is and if it's a project you feel up to.

Thanks!
