First thing to do is a compression test, this will give you an idea as to whether or not the rings have gone. The rings are about £70 to buy. But you're going to need to do a fair few other bits to get to them which is what will bump the costs up.

Does is smoke on start up at all? Like first thing in the morning etc? If so you're valve stem seals might have gone as well so it would be well worth doing those at the same time. You'd only need to buy new pistons if you're bores have badly worn though. This would mean a rebore with oversized pistons.

Mine did exactly the same as yours though Just finished rebuilding it and *touch wood* its alright now.
