	Aftermarket alarm, or other PO-installed widget.

	They overlap some.  The owner's manual is a small book that has
stuff like "how to drive your 914", service schedules, and a couple of
things for maintenance.  It also has a couple of neat tables (at least my
74's does), showing power, torque, and fuel consumption curves.
	Haynes is more of a fix-it book.  Not great, but about the best you
can get for < $300 (factory).  The Lash Int'l book is also recommended by
some.

>Will order blank keys, interior right door handle, and haynes book tomorrow.
>If anything to say, please do! And thanks for the help so far!

	Have fun with it!
