Looking for COMPLETE parts list

I'm looking for a place I can download a complete manufacturers list of parts and how they all fit together for the entire car. Think of it as a Chiltons manual to the Nth degree. Perhaps something from Mazda.

Basically if I wanted to dissasemble and rebuild the entire car and I needed to machine any parts, this would show me the exact dimensions of parts, etc.

Not going to happen....Mazda won't release that kind of Proprietary info......hell you can't get CAD drawings for anything

Manufacturing and inspection drawings are not available and held closely to Japan. Even Mazda US can't get basic inspection drawings.

I have never heard of such an animal existing---even for the US domestic market.

What part(s) are you trying to reverse engineer or make/have made?

Maybe I overstated what I am looking for. Perhaps I should call it a "manufacturers shop manual". At this point there is nothing I am trying to reverse engineer. My father in-law rebuilds motorcycles and thought it would be a good idea to have something like a manual of this nature. We're on vacation and I don't have the car with me so we can't look at it and figure it out. A manual would help in this, and future situations.

Thanks
