Default 1993 Del Sol restore project

Hi everyone! Just purchased a 1993 Del Sol and it needs some work. 1 main thing I would like to figure out is, if my Del Sol is a S or SI. Sorry for the newb question, but I'm new to Honda. Reason I asked is because the rotors and the brake pads are different from the S and the SI?

List of things to do:
Replace brakes/Rotors (Looking into some EBC slotted or Brembo solid rotors)
Get speedo to work (Looked into the soldering project, not sure how to check the VSS yet)
Get AC to work (Assume it's a relay, fuse or freon)
Get all windows to work (Assume it's a relay, fuse or module)
Replace numerous interior panels (sourced someone local with a lot of parts)
Straighten steering wheel (read somewhere, I can loosen up some bolts underneath my steering column and adjust wheel accordingly)
Get door handles and locks to work (gotta be the door handle)
Replace support struts in the trunk (this is the obvious...gas in the struts is out)
Possibly replace springs and struts (a little sloshy on turns, will check all tire pressure in all tires and precede from there)
If I'm missing anything, feel free to add on if it will help me out.

Other than what I listed above, the car runs good. Body is in good condition.
I will post pics and progress as I go.

If anyone is in or around Charlotte, NC that knows a thing or two about Hondas, come by and help a brother out, it would be greatly appreciated and compensated.

Jb

Thank you for clearing that up for me. Hence the reason I'm here. Well, it IS a 93....So would that make it a Del Sol S?

I will check when I get home. I had about 2 hours to purchase the car and then go on straight on vacation. But I want to say it's a D16z6. Didn't care to look because the body looked good and the car runs and drives. So I didn't knit pick since I only purchased for under a grand.

Right 93 Del Sol Si has the D16Z6.
You have disc brakes front and back.
The Del Sol S had drum brakes on the back and a D15B7 non-vtec engine.

My del sol DOES have rear disc and not drums.

Are my brakes and rotors interchangeable with civics eg or ek models?

Didn't say they didn't exist. Just never heard one referred to as an SI.
