A good first step is to get hold of a set of workshop manuals. For the TA22 you are looking for three - engine, chassis & body. The body manual covers removal and re-install of various trim. These manuals come up on ebay, etc quite frequently. Also a few after-market manuals that are Ok - Haynes manuals for example. The other advice I would give is take your time to work out how the various parts are fixed to the car. Some of the trim is clipped on (eg, front and rear window trim), and needs to be pried off *really* carefully. Other trim is fixed with screws, but these are often concealed by other parts that need to be carefully removed first.
