Default Thinking about switching over to Del Sol Shell

Ok, so the offer was made to me, to trade my Hatch shell for a Del Sol shell.
It looks pretty decent.
We will be swapping everything over. I have a d15 engine. Can everything be swapped out of my hatch into the del sol without any problems?
Thanks

I believe everything except body components should be able to be swapped over without any problems. The engine should fit using the same mounts and everything, and I believe the suspension is the same.

Well...Put it like this, I saw a pic of the Del Sol shell.
I'm supposed to see it personally this weekend.
If it looks good up close, Imma get it.
If the top can't come off, I won't get it.
I just love open top cars.
My brother thinks open tops and convertibles are gay.
SCREW HIM!!! But anywayz...yeah, if it looks good and the top comes off..I'M GETTIN IT. LOL.
Also my brother gave me an S10 truck, so this car, whether hatchback or del sol, will be my project car. I was trying to sell it but, no one wants to buy. I am selling it here in the Bahamas for $4000 as is, but these clowns over here think that is too high. I had this one guy wanting to trade his skyline for the hatch but I noticed he hadn't had the car licensed for almost 2 years so I got su****ious. I mean, it looks good and he started it up and it sounded nice, but I was wondering, problems may arise a few minutes into the ride. And it seems as though problems are amplified when turbos are involved.
Another guy wanted to give me an evo with 1200 dollars. I was like, ok, sounds to good to be tru. Come to find out, the dam evo needs a new engine. So that ended that. So I have decided that this civic will be my project car.
