cant use anything and retailn the front end of a sol, youd HAVE to have it look like a civic if your ok with that you can use the front half of your fenders ek and weld it to the *** half of your sol fenders using spot welds to keep warpage low

and i belive you CAN use the rad support with a little crafty modification which your probably dont have since you asked this question so im going to go ahead and say nah its out of your league body shop it

Correct. The radiator support will need to be modified for sure. I'm not 100% sure if the radiator supports are interchangeable, but i think they are. IMO I would swap them for ease and safety sake.

All said and done I think it would be cheaper to source Del sol body parts and get them painted.

The positive to that is no one gets confused as to what car they're driving by.
