Broken Timing Belt

I have been offered a 2000 Audi A4 1.8T with a broken timing belt at a
very attractive price. Being a sucker for distressed Audi's I'm
seriously considering it. I assume the broken belt will have bent a few
valves but I'm a little concerned that there may be other damage - eg
damaged pistons - that would seriously push up the repair cost. (I plan
on doing the work myself so mechanic's labor cost is not an issue). Any
advice from listers who have carried out this repair would be much
appreciated.
