Default First Time Sol Owner. Plenty of questions :)

Okay, I am going to get my Del Sol this weekend, it is my first Sol and my first car (not ricing it, I promise). It is a '94 Vtec, pictures following. I am posting this thread as a place to ask questions, as I am sure I will have plenty.

Now, some quick pictures of how I am buying it.










Questions.
1. Will a '97 Del Sol 'S' trunk lid fit my '94?



Thanks for your time.

I also need to replace part of the rear left brake, it is rusted so badly that the tire won't spin. A bit disappointing, as I wanted to drive it home

Haven't put 100% deep thought into it as I didn't have a job. I am interviewing for a really nice co-op job that I think I have a decent chance of getting so now I am looking more into the car. Before I have any fun with it, I want to get it running well and get that back end fixed. I want to make it my own while avoiding making it too rice.

Motor runs almost perfect. The interior is nice, a few skuffs and small tears here and there, but it is pretty good for a 14 year old car.
