Default New Del Sol Owner

Hello Everyone, I just came back to Honda ownership after a year off driving american cars, happy to be back.

I just picked up a 95 Del Sol SI from my aunt, it was a theft recovery that I towed out of impound. When I picked it up it was missing; The seats, ECU, and Door Glasses. The column was also completly ruined and some trim and the dash has damage, but it is merely cosmetic. I've been working to track down the parts I need to get this car back on the road.

So far I'be found:
ECU
Passenger door with glass, which I plan to use only the glass and sell the door.
Possibly useable column, need to remove the key tumbler from it and put in mine.
A few trim peices, and new speakers to replace the ruined door speakers.

I've got an FSM and some time to get this car going. The only road block so far has been finding seats, no one has them.

I gutted the interior and am letting the car dry out right now, it was raining when I picked it up, and rain+no door glass= stading water in the car. The carpet cleaned up fairly well and does't smell to bad, but I'll replace the carpet pads for good measure.

I'm sure I will ahve some question and am going to give a pre thanking to everyone that helps.

Del Sol seats shouldn't be that hard to come by.
I always see someone selling them on craigslist.

I've only been able to find one set of seats anywhere, and they are very ugly and too expensive.

I have a column question. I picked up an undamaged column, but it is missing the key. I looked at the FSM about replacing the key switch and is removable but you need the key to remove it. Is there any way to remove the old key tumber out of the column without the key? This column is mint besides not having the key, and they didn't damage that part on my old column.
