I'm in about the same position. You don't say whether you did the
disassembly. I did mine, took lots of pictures, and kept a journal.
I'll just walk back through both sets of records as I go. Also, having
disassembled the car, I got to understand its construction pretty well.
My Alpine Journal is on my web site, along with the other resources I'll
use. As a general rule, everything is built from the walls out:
electrical and hydraulic lines before engine, wiper motor and blower
before dash face, etc.
