I used to own a 1993 del sol S. I could lend some advice. Many people here could help you out on your restoration journey. Lots of smart people on the site.
How about some pics of the ride?

Ya it's the si and I have plenty of body work to do lol. I am taking it apart completely and color swapping it to orange and I wanna keep it stockish no un attractive body kits for me and plan on doing a rear disc brake conversion when I take her all apart.
Great news about the body work there structural damage (sarcasm) so I will end up fixing that ASAP and I have to put together the interior behind the seats.

im a del sol owner as well. first thing I would recommend is getting some Shin-etsu silicone grease from the dealership for the seals. it basically rehydrates them and makes them expand back out to help keep water from getting in. great stuff. then look in the quarter panels, rocker panels and trunk area for rust.
Just now found this... Thanks for NOT letting me know about this, Shaun. 
The ONLY down part about owning a del Sol (besides getting made fun of for driving a girl car) is the water leakage. Which, in turn, will cause rust. Like stated above, Shin-Etsu grease will condition the seals to help prevent them dry-rotting out. I've used dielectric grease before with the same results (it's only $5 a tube compared to the $16/tube from Honda for the Shin-Etsu).
Body flex is another HUGE factor as well, as the cars are designed around the Civic chassis, with added support for the open roof. Because of this, the body flexes and twists WAY more than a Civic will. This in turn causes certain areas of the body to crack (door jams are the biggest area).
Just a few things to keep in mind. As stated (and I KNOW I'm way late on this..) but feel free to hit me up if you need/want any more info.
