Good luck on the build man, the d15b is one of the best bang for the buck engines out there.

Do it man its going to be alot of work, but that all depends on what you exactly do. I did something similar also, I took everything from my 90 civic si and swaped it over in my 88std model. I mean everything though the entire car wiring harness, front windshield, carpet, dash, etc.... it was a PITA.

grind the vin of the dash very carefully (the rivets) until they let go. then get yourself a good pop rivet gun and find some pop rivets that are the exact same size as the stock ones and pop it back on. I've done it 3 or 4 times and it always turns out looking completely stock. It's perfectly legal as long as you're putting the vin back on the car it belongs on

And it's freaking HOT and HUMID out. It's not horrible but you sweat to death. I had to do some stuff outside to day for work and I was drenched in about 3min.

Car is coming a long nicely. I might be able to come up saturday. Depends if I have to work for an A/C guy (i need all the extra money I can get)

being on disablity helps with having the time bartering things for other things helps alot too. My whole car has been built on bartering. witch helps out alot. everything you see that has been done to my car has all been bartering for it.
