Graphic document for replacing Body Parts

I have an 82 rx-7 that my son crunched the front end in a minor accident. I would like to replace the body parts myself. What I am looking for are suggestions for a good manual with very detailed pictures that could guide me in removing and installing these parts. I don't have any real experience in this area so I would like a step by step (with pictures) series of instructions to accomplish this.

Thanks.

the best book for that would be the factory service manual. you can buy one from ebay, usually at a good price. here's an example http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1982-...sQ5fLiterature

The parts microfiche would also be helpful to you; available through the link regarding manuals in the section FAQ.

Detailed exploded drawings of the entire vehicle, and info on part numbers and year-to-year variations. Essentially, copies of the microfiche Mazda provided to its parts counters.
