Default Best literature to follow for Sapph Build

Good day

What is the best literature to follow to build a sapphire. I'm struggling slightly to make a start on certain areas because I'm not sure if where the parts go are to be correct.

When I did the tear down I kinda put things together but like most of the smaller parts and fasteners need to be cleaned / treated / replaced and reassembled with the bigger parts. It's super overwhelming when time goes past and now must be scratching your head. I did take a few pics during the tear down but not super detailed ones of each component.

I have a few downloads but mostly are relating to Sierra 2/3 doors and Sierra 5doors (hatchback versions). Looking specifically on sapphs.

My car is rolling shell. Been painted and I would say 90 percent torn down. Only the 4 doors are on. I have parts everywhere in boxes and stored in a room.

should I start a thread where blokes can tell me what goes where but I would still need a reference to work towards. Is there a parts reference diagram specifically for sapphs I could use?

Doing everything myself so knowledgeable assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Start a thread and I am sure most of us can help.

I have stripped many saffs and can remember when I see pics.

I agree with Paul above...just add a thread and post pics but wasn't there the "Bentley Manual" that dealers used to hold, I think they are sold on ebay.

the haynes manuals are ok for generic Sierra stuff...a bit like this one but you would need to find a Saphire specific: https://www.ebid.net/uk/for-sale/978...SABEgJ-CvD_BwE

Also this CD: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ha...HpcWj7_CNI_DM:

If you cannot get one shipped to you then you can ship to me and I will post to SA at your cost.
